      We did a nice out and back from the Vultee OHV (Dry Creek) road up to the top and back. The map shows a small loop connecting to Soldier's Pass trail. The section labelled Soldier's Pass Spur is there so it does connect from Brins to Soldier pass but the Loop portion is not available. It appears to be blocked off by brush.

      Nice hike. Big climb to the mesa but beautiful once you get there.
