From Tehachapi, head south towards Highline Rd. On Highline Rd, head west until you reach Water Canyon Rd. You see about 15 Cypress trees that line Water Canyon Rd. Head south on Water Canyon Rd until it turns into Tehachapi Mountain Park. You’ll see the trailhead for Tehachapi Mountain on your left. The trailhead for Tehachapi Mountain Trail begins just after the first few campsite locations within Tehachapi Mountain Park. Keep an eye out for a small white retaining wall and a stone drinking fountain. There are two trails that start from this location. The Nuooah Nature Trail begins on the right and the Tehachapi Mountain Trail begins on the left. Start out on the left, and follow the gradual uphill grade until you find another trail sign linking the trail with a fire road. The fireroad section of Tehachapi Mountain Trail gradually gains in elevation, and slowly begins to offer up views of the surrounding valley. The surrounding white fir, black oak, and jeffery pine begins to give way to a mixed conifer forest as the elevation moves towards 7000ft. At 1.75 miles into the hike, the trail leaves the fireroad behind for a steep ridge towards the summit. The final mile of trail gains just shy of 1000ft, so be prepared to climb! Although the trail is narrower than the fireroad, it’s still very easy to follow, as it cuts through the conifer forest towards the summit.
