From the Tongass Highway, take Revilla Road north east towards Ward Lake past the turnoff to Ward Lake and continue until the asphalt turns to gravel. You will see a bullet riddled barely legible sign for Brown Mountain Road from the main road, at which point you should starting looking right - a steep uphill gravel road veers to the right (south?) before Harriet Turner Creek - this is Brown Mountain Road. This sheer mountain road switches back several times and climbs a decent amount until the trail ends at a turnaround at the trailhead. On the main approach road, if you hit a yellow gate, you have gone too far and will need to backtrack towards Ward Lake a few miles. (55.425781, -131.610208)
