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.
