The Angeles Crest Highway (or State Route 2) between La Cañada Flintridge and Wrightwood, California, goes through the Angeles National Forest. The road is 66 miles (or 106 kilometers) end-to-end and passes through the San Gabriel Mountains, reaching a summit of 7,903 feet (or 2,409 meters) at the Dawson Saddle. The Angeles Crest Highway is normally closed over winter between Islip Saddle and Vincent Gap due to avalanche risk. A detour may be followed from the Angeles Crest Highway by taking the Angeles Forest Highway turning at Clear Creek and continuing to Wrightwood via Mount Emma Road, Fort Tejon Road, and the Big Pines Highway.
