Norm Maclean, Hike Leader

Directions to Trailhead: Drive up Angeles Crest Highway to mileage paddle 47.54, then turn left on the Charlton Flats Road. After about 100 yards take the right downhill branch and drive to the turn around at the end of the road. Go back to the first tables and restrooms where we will meet, at 5240 feet elevation and hopefully cooler weather.
