Mount Wilson from La Canada (Out of Town)

Take anything to the Glendale Fwy (Hwy 2) north to the 210 East, and off at Angeles Crest Highway. Turn right on ACH and we will meet on the shopping center roof parking lot. Don’t park there because of time limit restrictions but there is other street and lot parking in the immediate area. Meet at 8:15 am for an 8:30 am start. Car pooling is encouraged.

Ride proceeds up ACH to Clear Creek Junction (about 9 miles) then to Red Box Gap (another 5 miles) and finally up Mt. Wilson Red Box Road to the top (another 5 miles). Continue around to the right of all the antennas, toward the Solar Observatory, and up to the Mt. Wilson Skyline Park Picnic site (the giant gazebo). Regroup, rest a while, snack, and roll back down. 38 miles and about 4800 feet of climbing.
