I was looking for a one-nighter within ~3.5 miles from LA and found this. Michael, you did an incredible job at detailing what to do to the point. Aside from a run in to a rattlesnake. This area was vacant and secluded. Beautiful stargazing, perfect camping. 72-74 degrees during the day. Mid to high 40s during the night. The elevation climb made for a fun hike while the "fire road" was much more of a trail at this point. Not to mention we stopped at Sides and crushed a bacon burger and brussels. INCREDIBLE. Thank you again for writing this article.
