Angeles Crest News (thanks Rick!): Newcomb's Ranch opened at noon on March 12, 2010.
Angeles Crest will remain closed until sometime this summer due to road repairs between the bottom and the Palmdale turnoff. You can get to Newcomb's by taking the 210 freeway exiting at Sunland Blvd and heading east 2 miles to the Jack in the Box and turning north on Oro Vista which becomes Big Tujunga. The first part of Big Tujunga is very bumpy for about 1/4 mile with some damp patches. Continue on Big Tujunga to the Angeles Forest Highway and turn left. After you pass through the tunnel the road narrows to one lane just before where Hidden Springs Cafe used to be. When you reach Upper Big Tujunga (9 mile) turn right. The road is clear all the way to Angeles Crest where you will turn left. The shady section about 3 miles ahead is damp and icy early in the morning so head up after 9 or 10am. Newcomb's is now open limited hours until April but you can be sure it will be open during the day.
