Stage 7: Santa Clarita to Pasadena (Sunday, February 24, 200
(Start time: TBD) The final stage of the 2008 Amgen Tour of California represents a change from last year's event, which ended with a circuit race at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. Adding a relatively difficult point-to-point race at the end may put the overall race leader and his team under pressure to protect the jersey. The first 25 miles of Stage 7 include a gradual climb from Santa Clarita to the intersection of Angeles Forest Road. The route continues uphill to the highest elevation ever reached by the Amgen Tour of California on the towering Millcreek Summit (4906 feet). Descending with an eight-mile run to Angeles Crest Highway, the route begins a fast plunge to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. After more than 60 miles from Santa Clarita to Pasadena, with the mountains and the Rose Bowl serving as the backdrop, the peloton will complete the stage and the race, with six five-mile laps on a tough circuit around the Rose Bowl.

Where is Mill Creek summit??

Pretty sure it around the intersection of Angeles Forest and Angeles Crest Hwy- or thereabouts.
