Summary
To get there, I picked up Contour Drive heading east to where it intersected Warren Street. Warren is a dirt road that heads closer to Mt Rudolph. However, after about about a mile, the road got rougher and off road enthusiasts become more abundant. Where Warren intersects Pulsar Road, I parked off the side of the road and began the hike. I followed a dirt road all the way, although it wasn't clear as to which dirt road I needed to take along the way. Some cris-crossing dirt roads made things a little confusing. However, once Mt Rudolph was in sight, I stuck to whichever route got me closer to it.

This area is popular with off-roaders, which completely outnumber hikers. The road approaches Mount Rudolph from the west and passes the peak on its south side. The road gains a ridge and gradually elevates to the summit. Taggers found this summit long ago, but fortunately the expressions with spray paint did not alter the views too much. Typical great Inland Empire views spill out below. More wandering around in the area is always an option. However, to wrap up the visit, it is a matter of returning the same way.
