From the tranquil N Phoenix TH, walk past the gate across Phoenix Road a couple hundred feet to the apparent trail on the right. Work S without difficulty through the ancient forest (without much for views) 31/2 mi up about a dozen enjoyably graded switchbacks and turns to the three-way juncture with Phoenix Trail heading left (SE). Continue straight (S) on N Phoenix Trail at the bench up the steepening ridge; see above for clues 1/2 mi to Marys Peak, if you like, as it’s never terribly difficult.
