I went for a walk on the weekend. This place is suitable for walking kids, dogs, and girlfriends, but not for singles. It is a good place for camping, picnics, barbecues, swimming, playing in the water, cooling off, and summer vacation. ✌️

An amazing place. Great trails, great hiking, and in the winter great skiing. Super remote and yet super close to LA

I love the Angels National Forest. However, be careful as to what plant you lay across. Poison ivy/oak is in abundance. Don't let it ruin your plans, just know what to look for and have fun
