Once you park, hike up this winding dirt road. You will come upon a dirt bike track crossing, keep on the road instead. You will keep following this road as it slowly starts climbing the mountain where it will come to a dead end. At this point, you will just have to scramble up the volcano. It's quite steep grade, so even though zig-zagging might be needed, try to keep a straight path up the mountain! If you have trouble doing this, turn around every so often and keep the white barns/houses behind you at all time. If you will succeed at doing this :-) you will come upon the highest part of the volcano rim where you will see a large pile of rocks with land survey marker.
From here, hike around the rim of the volcano and enjoy the beautiful views. Going counter-clockwise will bring you to the view of San Francisco mountain. If you wish, feel free to go down hill into the valley of the volcano where you might have a small pond during wet season.
To go back, hike back to the pile of rocks/survey marker and just head straight down. Maintaining a straight course you should come directly upon the dirt road which you will follow to where you parked.
