OUTDOORS & ADVENTURE
THE BEST WAY TO BUCKHORN
From Interstate 210 in La Cañada Flintridge, exit at Angeles Crest Highway (state route 2) and drive northeast 36 miles. Entrance on the left.
CAMPSITES
The 38 sites are on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations. The fee is $12 a night, paid at a self-serve fee station. Water is available, and several vault toilets are nearby. No cellphone service is available, and a phone booth in the middle of the camp is out of service. Snow often closes the campground by mid-November.
FOR THE RECORD:
Mountain map: A map that accompanied a Sept. 7 article on Buckhorn Campground in the Angeles National Forest showed California Highway 2 connecting with California Highway 39. The part of California 39 south of California 2 no longer exists, and the roads do not connect. —
TRAILS
The Burkhart Trail begins at the end of the paved road that cuts through the Buckhorn campground. You can also get to the Mt. Waterman Trail on the south side of Angeles Crest, opposite the Buckhorn campground entrance.
