Summary
After driving over 11 miles from Interstate 10 in Banning, continue south on Highway 243 to FS05, right before the Vista Grande Fire Station. I turned right on this dirt road and parked after about 100 yards or so in a large parking area. It is actually possible to drive the rest of the way to Ranger Peak with the proper vehicle, but that is better left to hiking.

| On the summit. |
The mostly flat hike leads to the summit of Ranger Peak. Radio towers stand tall near the high point, but on the true summit, portions of a foundation remains. I'm not sure if this was a former fire lookout or not, but distant views are really good. Returning the same way wraps up the hike with with low mileage.
