Camping in Angeles National Forest

Palmdale, California

Description

This is an amazing area to camp in that takes less than an hour to get to from LA. You got great scenery and high elevation for perfect views of the stars.

Some friends and I wanted to go camping but we didn't want to take a day off work for the drive. After some research we found Angeles National Forest and gave it a shot. There are TONS of campgrounds and it shoots up in elevation rather quickly so you escape the LA 'feel',

We did a group campsite for about $25/night and had more space than needed, it was great. There was a bar/restaurant about 20 minutes away as well so when we ran out of some supplies, they hooked us up. You really feel like you're in another city - huge trees, wildlife, clean air and all within an hour drive.

This is more of a 'relax/chill' area as the hiking wasn't anything to run home about - but the views were great and it was a nice escape for a weekend getaway.

Trail Canyon Falls

To get to the trail, take Big Tujunga Canyon Road until you see signs for Trail Canyon Road.

Drive up the dirt path for direct parking at the trailhead (4x4 is definitely recommended) or park at the bottom and walk up around three-quarters of a mile to get to the trailhead. From t...

Mt. Disappointment via Billy Riley Trail

From the 210 Freeway in La Cañada, take California Highway 2 north 14 miles up into the San Gabriel Mountains. Make sure you have your National Forest Pass (sold at REI or Ranger Station) or your Interagency Pass because they have started checking parked vehicles. At the Red Box Picnic area, make a right onto Mt. Wilson Road. About 1,000 up the road and onto the right is a pull-off and dirt par...
