Los Angeles, CA 90012

Angeles Crest Highway is a scenic byway running 66 miles through Southern California's San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, connecting La Cañada-Flintridge to the Mountain Top junction at SR138. The highway showcases the diverse chaparral and montane forest habitats of the Angeles National Forest, making it one of the state's most picturesque mountain routes.

Originally conceived in 1912, construction of the highway began in 1929 and continued until 1956, with interruptions during World War II. After closing for repairs due to landslides, it was reopened on May 20, 2009, and now leads visitors to the charming town of Wrightwood.
