Burnt Peak
Angeles National Forest
It was starting to get hot as we finished climbing back up from Atmore Meadows, so it is nice to grab another thousand feet or so and start up Burnt Peak. Again, we are on bicycles. This one starts off downhill and has some steep uphills before more downhill.
The final climb starts off steep, but then levels off to a typical road slope. We slowly twist our way to the top.
The road splits and I head left because I did not go that way before. It is the lesser traveled side. It climbs up and stops beside a small building near the fence around the FAA beacon. We climb to the flat area around the fence and continue around the top of the mountain to a nice spot.
After a while, we continue around the top of the peak and return on the second road. It is a lot quicker back, even with the final uphill at the end. That final uphill is actually a lot easier than expected.
