Summary:
The Denk Mountain Trailhead is in a residential neighborhood, which turned out to be an easement between properties. Beyond the pavement, it becomes a trail. A right turn led to a mostly non-utilized trailhead kiosk. I turned left at the kiosk and followed the trail toward the peak. Two separate trails have been worn down through the years. One is a gradual trail with switchbacks, and the other goes straight up. Since it is not a long climb, I just went straight up. The summit is wide and has nice views. On the way down, I started out on the gradual descent, but found it unnecessary right away. When I had access to the express route, I grabbed it and followed it back down to my car.
