We had followed Caliente trail beyond the sycamores to the water tank near the wind sock that marks the first launch point for hang gliders. We then climbed toward the fence line on the ridge and followed the ridge upward enough to look down on a small rock outcropping with sage. We were only a few hundred feet from the water tank.
