BIGHORN MINE TRAIL

If you’re looking for a "moderate" hike, bighorn mine trails is a well worth one for the books. It's a 4.8 mile (total round-trip), out and back, mostly single-track trail, with about 1130 feet (344 merers) of elevation gain over 2.4 miles. The views are amazing and you get to explore the caves there. Make sure to bring a flashlight. I don’t recommend this hike if you have kids with you it can be dangerous. For a nicer view make sure you get there early !!!!

The Bighorn Mine Trail is not only known for its stunning vistas but also for its intriguing history. Located within the Angeles National Forest, this trail offers hikers a glimpse into the mining history of the area, where visitors can explore remnants of old mine shafts and tunnels. As you hike, pay close attention to the diverse flora and fauna that thrive in this unique ecosystem. Keep your camera ready for panoramic views of the San Gabriel Mountains, especially at sunrise or sunset when the light creates a magical atmosphere. Safety is paramount on this hike; ensure you carry sufficient water, wear appropriate hiking gear, and consider using trekking poles for stability on the uneven terrain. The trail can be steep and challenging, especially for those unaccustomed to rigorous hikes. Always check the weather forecast before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly in mountainous areas. Additionally, joining a hiking group or bringing a friend along can enhance your experience and provide safety in numbers. Don't forget to check out nearby attractions within Angeles National Forest, such as other scenic trails, picnic areas, and visitor centers that can enrich your outdoor adventure. The area is perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway for outdoor enthusiasts!
