Angeles Crest Highway

Angeles Crest Highway has been closed for a while so when I heard the news that it re-opened, I was estatic! I finally had the chance to go last Sunday - 59 miles of scenic beauty! It was amazing - some of the areas were still dark and charred from the fire, some parts of the road were stained with mud from the mudslides and some parts of the road were brand new. The whole drive, I kept thinking it looked familiar - and it look almost like driving through Yellowstone when I went there a few years back. It was mountains, trees, charred trees and awesome views. The highest part was about 7,300 ft above sea level - at least that's what the sign said.

Me in Angeles Crest - great view!

It was an all day drive - with all the curves and slow speeds, the entire loop took about 6 hours.
