The Pacific Crest Trail is one of America's longest scenic
hiking trails running 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada. Wrightwood,
located about 360 miles from Mexico along the PCT, is a popular stopover
and supply point for hikers on the long walk through the backcountry, as
well as an entry point for those challenging portions of the trail on
shorter backpacking trips and day hikes. From the sandy creek in the Cajon Pass, into Lone Pine Canyon, up and along the Blue Ridge to the summit of Mt. Baden-Powell, then edging along to Islip Saddle, the trail within proximatey to Wrightwood provides views of the extended metropolitan areas of Southern California and the Mojave Desert.
