Old News? Mt. Pacifico Fire Road Washed Out

[Sewellymon]

[FONT=Arial]Just a head’s up for those of you linking rides up Mt. Pacifico in the Angeles National Forest.. The dirt road is washed out ¼ mile up from its junction with the Sulphur Springs Road (on the east side of the mountain).[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]The wash-out drops nearly 50’ vertical feet, followed by another several hundred foot chute you’d tumble down if you fell into it. Hikers have tip-toed the dirt slopes above the drop, but it’s dicey. Only other option for ascending Mt. Pacifico from the east is the Pretty Cool Trail (which – as you know- is off limits to bikes).

[FONT=Arial]Be nice if the Forest Service fixed the wash out, but I’d bet it could be years. Or never. Anybody know how long this section of road has been washed out?[/FONT]

I think it's the same one we seen one day as we were walking that trail you speak of. There was a ranger there at the time and he told us the plan was to fix all going north/south trails and then they'd start on the east/west trails. He also told us it would be at least 2 years before they started to work on the toll rd.
