4N56 Pinyon Ridge

4N56 Pinyon Ridge is in the Angeles National Forest. This trail is literally within two hours of all most anywhere in Southern California. The trail runs east to west offering fantastic views of the San Gabriels to the south with Mount Baden-Powell, at an elevation of 9,400 feet a prominent feature of the skyline. To the north is the High Desert 2000 feet below you with views to Pearblossom, Adelanto, Palmdale, and Lancaster. Close enough for a morning run and be home for lunch or pack your gear for a two-week campout at the Yellow Post Site. With five Animal Guzzlers (man-made water points) on this ridge, there are many prime locations to watch for bear, mountain lion, bobcat, deer, and other animals which come in for water.
