Description

This paved road provides what is probably the most convenient way to get from Red Box over Mt Disappointment and back to the great trails leading down to Altadena.

The road itself is uninteresting and not so steep, but the scenery is good. The road is also closed to car traffic, making for a pleasant ride up the hill. The Bill Reily trail is another option, however that trail is much shorter and hence much steeper.
