Turk's Head can be accessed from either the Hieroglyphic or the Peralta Road Trailheads. I chose Peralta Road which is longer, and then followed the Lost Goldmine Trail west to the mountain. The rocky summit is at 2,822 feet elevation. From the parking area it was 7.9 miles round trip. It was 102 degrees when I finished. There are many cairns to follow up Turk's Head but many are confusing. However, the often vanishing trail isn't difficult to figure out.
