The trail as it winds down to the river bed below.

We are restoring a trail that has been unused for about 30 years. Please RSVP as soon as possible, but don’t RSVP if you cannot make it. I bring tools according to the RSVPs. (zuliebear@aol.com or RSVP via meetup)

Take the I-5 to the SR-14 North. Exit at Sand Canyon, turn right (South/East). Go all the way past all the houses, Placerita Canyon etc., going straight. Enter the Angeles National Forest and continue up!up!up! Sand Canyon Road until you see a memorial at a bad corner (on the right side). Shortly after this you will see a brown sign "Santa Clara Divide Road". Park in one of the turn outs to the left, right, or above this sign but not blocking the white gate .

Meeting Time:

We will meet PROMPTLY for this one event at 7:15AM. We will make up carpools and leave no later than 7:30AM SHARP. We carpool through a locked gate for 4 miles on forest road 3N17 to reach the trail head, due to limited parking there. PLEASE BE PROMPT as we must relock the gate.

Quitting Time: 12:00 - 12:30PM (we should be back at the gate by ~1:30PM)

Bring:

Water, snacks, camera, bandaids, TP (there are no bathrooms), hand wipes, strong garden gloves (suede leather type recommended) , sunscreen, electrolytes, sun hat, and anything else you can think of to make you more comfortable and happy on the trail!

Do Not Bring:

Dogs, as they will get bored, plus we do not want to risk tripping over or hurting them as we work.

Your home garden tools as we could damage them.

Thank you for helping us bring back this trail, so we can all enjoy it.
