Road Guide

Best Season: Best from late spring through fall. Summer is hot at the bottom but cool on top; the high section can have snow and ice from late fall into spring.
Closures: The section between Islip Saddle and Vincent Gap is usually closed in winter by snow, and rockslides or fire damage can close other sections. Check Caltrans before riding.
Fuel: There is no fuel between La Cañada Flintridge and Wrightwood. Fill up before you start.
Watch For: Heavy traffic and frequent enforcement on weekends, a history of serious motorcycle crashes, rocks and gravel in the corners, cyclists, wildlife, and cold temperatures and ice at altitude.

State Route 2 climbs out of La Cañada Flintridge into the San Gabriel Mountains and follows the crest of the range through the Angeles National Forest to Wrightwood. It is the classic Los Angeles mountain ride, with long sweepers, tight sections near Islip Saddle and Dawson Saddle, and views back over the basin and out to the Mojave Desert.
