General Direction for Series - Continue on up Hwy #2 past Big Pine ranger station (Angeles Forest Information Center) and veer LEFT towards LaCanada/Flintridge, continuing on Hwy #2. You will pass Pacific Crest Trail sign on left hand side and Inspiration Point on the right hand side of road. Continue to drive on Hwy #2 to Grassy Hollow Visitor Center. The entrance to Grassy Hollow Visitor Center will be located on the right hand side of the Hwy #2. Drive and park in visitor parking.
(For this series, you must have a Calif. Adventure Pass to park, so you can pick one up in town or at the ranger station if it’s open.)
#1 – Walk back through parking lot and across the road from the entrance of the parking lot. A hut will be on the north side of the road. Walk between the twin markers to the RIGHT of the hut, veering left. Proceed across dirt area to the trail head for Pacific Crest Trail. Follow the trail towards Canada (LEFT), up the hill until you see a bare “speckled” or “spotted” topped tree on the LEFT side of trail. Walk up off the trail to charred horizontal tree on ground in front of “speckled” tree. What you seek is located under a rock, pile of bark and tree limb on back side of charred tree near center of tree.
#2 – Continue north up Pacific Crest Trail until you come to the back side of mountain where view faces desert overlook. There is a downed tree with a white tag on it on your RIGHT side at 340 degrees overlooking the desert. Letterbox is hidden inside log under bark.
#3 – Continue on Pacific Crest Trail until you reach a blacktop road and turn LEFT onto the road. Follow the road until you approach the Grassy Hollow Visitor Center and come to the amphitheater on your RIGHT side just before the parking lot. Continue down to base of amphitheater and sit on one of the two front benches at lowest point of the amphitheater, facing Hwy # 2. In front of you are two pretty Douglass Fir trees at 140 degrees from benches. Hidden beneath the farthest Douglass Fir on the RIGHT between two rocks, under pine cones and pine needles, is the last letterbox.
Hike length: 1-2 miles
