Panorama Road is well-maintained, providing a nice shortcut to Mescal Creek Road. Traveling through the desert foothills of the Sheep Mountains, the elevation is still high enough to provide lovely views to the north. Along the way are the ruins of long-abandoned buildings built from local rocks. When reaching Mescal Creek Road and turning north, it leads into the Angeles National Forest.
The trail is entirely on private land, and there is no camping along this road.
A two-wheel drive SUV will do fine on the wide, flat road.
