There is supposed to be a road that goes up to the flats near Sugarloaf from the Big Pine area. Last I heard you need a dirt bike to do it. That was more than a few years ago. The normal way to get on top in a 4x4 vehicle is by cutting the corner by Bishop near Browns Campground and coming in from the north. I don't believe there is a way to drive via the north fork of Big Pine Creek.
The south end of Coyote Flat offers a great view of the Thumb and Middle Palisade.
