Sunset Peak – Winter

Cappie’s Scoop: Zoooming in the snow is so much fun! It’s even better when it starts snowing while I’m hiking. Mom was on her snowshoes and I was jumping like a deer through the snow. This was a really fun trail and there wasn’t many other dogs or hoomans there so we had it all to ourselves! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: This trail in the San Gabriel Mountains is a fantastic place to snowshoe!

Directions: The coordinates below take you to the trailhead even though we didn’t park there due the road requiring chains at the time. From Padua Avenue, turn right onto Mt. Baldy Road. In about 7.1 miles, make a sharp left onto Glendora Ridge Road. The first trailhead will be on your left in about 1 mile, parking is available on the sides of the road. The second trailhead will be on your left in 4.2 miles and has a dirt parking lot. We arrived early in the morning and about 0.5 mile before our left turn onto Glendora Ridge Rd, chains were required to go any further. We saw a parking spot on the side of the road and decided to walk the rest of the way up to the first trailhead. On our way back to the car, the chain order was lifted because the road was safe and clear.
