Title: Angeles Crest Highway status?
Post by: jd on March 14, 2010, 05:27:17 AM
The stars are aligned, and I have some free time to hit Angeles Crest Highway this afternoon.

But I have received conflicting info on whether it it open or not. 

Anyone know?

Thanks,
JD

I might be heading up there tomorrow myself, but I'm on the other side of the hill from you so would be coming up from Acton on Angeles Forest.  What time where you thinking of being there?

I have tomorrow off and was thinking of going for an easy cruise, but I don't like the whole up/back thing.

Post by: monster torque on April 22, 2010, 06:42:48 PM
I was just there last weekend. I had to take the back way up. Started at the 210 and sunland. I hope it's open this weekend do to the little rain we had.
