ESCAPE FROM THE BLISTERING LA HEAT!!
This repeat event is cross posted from another meetup group, Sunset to Sunrise Hikers. Sheila is the main host.
We’re allowing up to 10 attendees from this group.
At 8,300 ft elevation CHULA VISTA CAMPGROUND is a FREE campground hidden in a dense pine forest with plenty of shade and cool temperatures.
It has picnic tables, fire pits, and pit toilets.

CHULA VISTA CAMPGROUND is located 193 yards, or a quick 3 minute walk from the Mt Pinos Nordic Base parking lot.
Many folks use yard carts or hand trucks to haul their camping equipment and coolers to the their campsites.

Arrive anytime, take off anytime!
Campsites are first come, first served, but there are plenty of open spaces, even between campsites, for everyone.
Some of the popular day hikes from the campground are to Mt Pinos summit (4 miles RT) and Sawmill Mountain (8 miles RT).

From downtown LA it usually takes just over an hour and a half to reach the Mt Pinos parking lot, plus the 3 minute walk to the campground. :))
