Kid Friendly - Overnight trip to Henninger Flats

Have you been wanting to take your kids on a backpacking trip? Then come join us on a kid friendly backpacking trip to Henninger flats, it is a great local campground for beginners, experienced, or in this case kids. The hike to the camp is 3 miles with a 1400' elevation gain, it overlooks the LA basin and in clear weather the view is fantastic.

There is NO RUNNING WATER AT CAMP at this time so you will have to carry any water you will need. I will try to get some water up there prior to the date so we dont have to carry too much

We will camp at the upper campground so if you plan on coming in later just go to the office and ask where My Hiking Club is camping. There is a museum at the top and a soda machine so bring your quarters.

The hike up is straight up a dirt fire road and is completely exposed so even when the weather is cool, it can be quite warm on the hike up.

Street parking available near the trail entrance--but pay close attention to the parking signs and restrictions.

The trail head is on Pinecrest Dr. north of the intersection of Pinecrest Dr. and Crescent Dr. in Altadena.

Bear canisters are not required but be prepared to bear bag if you aren't bringing one.
