DETAILS: TAKE THE 210 FREEWAY to the 2--THEN drive north on Angeles Crest Highway/Highway 2 for 35 miles (which takes 1 hour). We meet just past the Mount Waterman ski area at the Buckhorn day use area parking area on the roadside. Look for a big sign that says (duh.....) "BUCKHORN DAY USE PARKING AREA"

NOTE: there are two day use parking areas. WE WILL MEET AT THE HIGHWAY 2 DAY USE PARKING LOT. --------

..... NOT THE DAY USE LOT AT THE FAR DOWNHILL END OF THE CAMPGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. it is too small to hold all of our cars. so we will park at the highway

THERE IS NO CELL PHONE SERVICE HERE.

WATER AND RESTROOMS: We will be hiking through a civilized campground that has drinking water and toilets.

GPS COORDINATES: N 34.34581 W 117.92064

IF YOU PARK ALONG THE ROAD, YOU DO NOT NEED A $5 ADVENTURE PASS. IF YOU PARK IN THE DAY USE AREA PARKING LOT NEAR THE RESTROOMS, YOU DO NEED AN ADVENTURE PASS.
