Exit highway 5 at 89 (to McCloud), go through McCloud and take 13 North (will turn into a dirt road), turn left on Nat. Forest Road 19 (north) and follow to just past 31 where you take a left at the sign ("to Brewers Creek Trailhead"). Follow signs to trailhead or as far as you can get.
North Gate will also provide access to the Hotlum Glacier via the Hotlum Bolam Ridge and might be a more direct line to the upper glacier
Nat. Forest Road 31 going past the Shasta Ski Park appears to be a more direct line, but is much (windier) and less maintained. Not recommended.
