Embark on a challenging racebike journey through the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. This difficult 37.6-mile (60.5 km) loop will test your endurance with a significant 4344 feet (1324 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 3 hours and 40 minutes to complete. As you pedal, you'll wind through the historic canyon, passing the tranquil waters of Morris and San Gabriel Reservoirs, with the Angeles National Forest providing a lush backdrop. Keep an eye out for the San Gabriel Canyon Road Scenic View, offering expansive views of the surrounding peaks and valleys.
To begin your ride, head to the Lario Staging Area, which offers convenient parking and direct access to the route. While Southern California generally boasts sunny weather year-round, be aware that higher elevations along the route can occasionally experience snowfall, so check conditions before you go. Weekends tend to be busier, particularly in the section leading up to East Fork, so consider an early start or a weekday ride for a quieter experience.
This route stands out for its blend of demanding climbs and scenic beauty within the historic San Gabriel Canyon. You'll experience the unique environment of the Angeles National Forest, where a running creek often accompanies your ride. The trail offers a chance to immerse yourself in a natural setting that feels far removed from urban life, making it a rewarding challenge for any dedicated road cyclist.
