I have only been there twice. Here's a clue. It's a good clue to use  
elsewhere. The trail is at the crest. The hills crest a few times.  
The trail is at the highest crest. The crest is always a good place  
to start looking for the trail. They were pretty good about keeping  
the PCT on the crest.

The trail a Q-LP is at a 3-way junction with another paved road. The  
trail southbound is across the street from the junction. The trail  
northbound is up the side-road a bit and is marked by one of those  
brown signs with all the stickers on it.

Here's how it looks in the area.
