Buckhorn Campground, on Angeles Crest Hwy

Angeles National Forest is registered as California Historical Landmark #717, for being the first National Forest in the state.

The Angeles National Forest covers a total of 700,176 acres, protecting large areas of the San Gabriel Mountains and Sierra Pelona Mountains. It is located just north of the densely inhabited metropolitan area of Greater Los Angeles.

While primarily within Los Angeles County, a small part extends eastward into southwestern San Bernardino County, in the Mount San Antonio (Mount Baldy) area, and a tiny section also extends westward into northeastern Ventura County, in the Lake Piru area.

The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, established in 2014 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, is largely within the Angeles National Forest.

The Angeles National Forest manages the habitats, flora and fauna ecosystems, and watersheds. Some of the rivers with watersheds within its boundaries provide valuable non-groundwater recharge water for Southern California. The existing protected and restored native vegetation absorb and slow surface runoff of rainwater to minimize severe floods and landslides in adjacent communities.

The land within the forest is diverse, both in appearance and terrain. Elevations range from 1,200′ to 10,064′. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the forest.

Mountain Biking Map, Mount Wilson Observatory, Angeles

Mount Wilson (5710 elev.) is a high ridge with blinking red lights towering above Pasadena, California.  Radio and television antenna, and cell phone towers for the Los Angeles Basin are plentiful, so you may hear some buzzing upon the tall towers.

There is an Observatory complex featuring solar & nighttime telescopes, with tours.map the stars

Locals have built a few rope tree swings, named the Secret Swings, but since they are featured on GoogleMaps, I doubt they are a real secret. Popular hiking and mountain biking trails lead down from Mount Wilson, past waterfalls and trail camps, to the foothills of Altadena and Sierra Madre.

SKYLINE PARK PICNIC SITE: On a clear day (which can be a rare occurrence) this spot can be an awesome place to spend the whole day. Pack a picnic lunch and/or dinner; may as well bring the big cooler, several blankets and maybe some fold up chairs. Jackets and hats are handy to have when the wind picks up. Expect crowds on the weekends.

EPIC VIEWPOINT: This ridge line location is also an epic view at night, as the lights of the metropolis span out westward in a grid pattern. This is great spot to bring a date, a sightseeing relative, or an outta state visitor.
