The parking area is a little over a half mile from the trailhead. It is on the access road to the Fire Training Academy and has a gate that is locked at the end of the day. A trail from the parking area rejoins the road next to the river. A few boot paths are along the road shortly after crossing the river. I believe these lead to rock climbing areas. The Dirty Harry's trail is much farther down the road. Most of this hike is on old logging roads that resemble a rocky creek bed more than a road. It was a nice sunny day for a hike and no bugs.
We went to the peak first and then the pond. Shortly after starting up the trail to the pond, the trail leaves the rocky old road and becomes a steeper path up the hill. It is easy to lose the trail in a couple of spots.

On the way up. Did I mention this is a rocky trail?
At the east end of the peak looking down the cliff about 1,700 feet to the smaller of Granite Lakes.
Revolution Peak, the little white spot to the left is the old cabin.
The sun is too bright for Sly.
The west end of the peak, I-90 below.
Dirty Harry's Bathtub sits in a bowl of large boulders. When I first came to the boulders it looked easier to continue along the side, unfortunately, that just took us higher than was necessary and meant more boulders to climb down.
