Mount Angeles, Sunrise Ridge

This hike is near Disney like at first. A paved trail, deer that contentedly munch flowers just a few feet from the parking lot and views that can not be beat. After twenty minutes on the trail the crowds thin out. Frequently the trail side hills and on occasion it rides the top of the ridge. Snow exists at one spot where there is a drop in elevation.

Mount Angeles is accessed via a side trail a few miles along the ridge. The trail climbs steeply and is quite dry and slick. After a bit a meadow is reached and wildflowers abound. The trail cuts up the hillside. Rotten loose rocks make up most of the trail. It isn't difficult, just loose.
