Wednesday, December 11, 2024
| Other Names | Angeles National Forest, San Gabriel River Ranger District, Rincon Canyon, West Fork San Gabriel, Pine Mountain, Mount Wilson, Monrovia Peak, Rincon Shortcut Trail, Spring Camp |
| Last Known Status | Temporarily Closed (due to debris slides from the Bobcat Fire) |
This old forest service road is located just past the San Gabriel OHV Area. The trail is about 25 miles long and is mostly hard packed and is rated as mostly easy. Primitive camping is permitted alongside the trail but there is a designated campground at Spring Camp which has picnic tables and a vault toilet but no water, so bring your own.
The trail is gated and visitors are required to obtain an Adventure Pass and gate code prior to entering (both pass and gate code can be purchased at the San Gabriel OHV Entrance Station). The trail is open year-round but may close temporarily due to inclement weather. Call before you haul.
