Chilao Flats

Trail Description:
From your car, head Northwest on the paved road. The road turns to dirt just past the spur road for Chilao Flats Camp Ground. Continue up the road. The road starts to climb gently. After the road levels off and passes through a forest, you will encounter an intersection with Sulfur Springs Road. Turn left onto Sulfur Springs Rd. and descend into the saddle. Here you will see Pacifico Mt.. Rd. Turn left here. You will do a little more climbing here and reach an intersection with another road that heads u to the summit of Pacifico Mountain. Turn right and start climbing steeply to the summit. Once at the top take a breather and enjoy the view. Once rested, enjoy the ride back down.

How to get there:
Take I-210 towards Angeles Crest HWY (CA-2). In La Canada head North on CA-2 about 40 miles to Chilao Flats CG Road. Turn left and park along this road.

this is not necassarily for beginners.. i would say riders that are comfortable with downhill switchback and rutted terrain. my personal favorite ride. gets real technical towards the end. (real fun stuff)
