Overview

4N11 Big Rock Creek is in the Angeles National Forest. This trail is literally within two hours of all most anywhere in Southern California. Big Rock Creek runs east to west offering fantastic views of the San Gabriels to the south with Mount Baden-Powell, at an elevation of 9,400 feet a prominent feature of the skyline. To the north is 4N56 Pinyon Ridge trail. These trails are close enough for a morning run and be home for lunch or pack your gear for a campout at Big Rock Campground or choose from several nice dispersed sites along the trail. The campground might be convenient if you are unfortunate enough to have a loved one staying at Fenner Camp, a correctional facility near the trails end.
