Pacifico Mountain Trail

• Google directions

Meetup at Mill Creek Picnic Area. Restrooms available, no potable water.
Recommend carrying 3 to 5 liters (hike is at 5000 to 7000 elevation).
Plenty of parking on both sides of Angeles Forest Highway, but you must display an Adventure Pass (not available for purchase at Mill Creek). National Park passes also work. See end of post for more info on buying passes.

Full route is 11.9 miles with 2200 feet of climb. Turn around early for less.
Turning around at the junction with Pacifico Mountain Summit Road gives you 9 miles without the 23% grade to the Summit.
