Mar 28, 2021 — Ord Mountain is just a road walk, and certainly not an interesting one at that. While the meadows around the summit and the views to the big SoCal peaks to the southwest are nice, it's not a notable hike at all. To reach the trailhead, head south here (34.71224, -116.8264). Mid-clearance is required shortly after this, and smaller vehicles might struggle on the steeper sections of road. This adds a little under 2 miles and around 500 vertical to the hike. From the locked gate trailhead, I followed the road up to some radio towers. That's really all I can report about this one. The desert in this area is pretty bland overall.

I parked just before the locked gate and headed past it.

Yep, a road walk.
