About
Sulphur Springs Trail Camp sits at 5,300 feet elevation in the Pleasant View Ridge Wilderness, a quiet corner of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument within Angeles National Forest. The camp provides 6 sites designated for both hikers and equestrians on a first-come, first-served basis. Facilities are minimal: vault toilets and a seasonal spring that provides water suitable only for stock or for human consumption after treatment. Flow can be low or nonexistent during drought conditions. Access is via the Pacific Crest Trail from the Three Points trailhead, approximately 6-7 miles one way with about 1,000 feet of elevation gain. The moderate hike typically takes 3-3.5 hours. There is no camping fee, though an Adventure Pass or Interagency Pass is required for vehicles parked at the trailhead.
Directions
From the 210 Freeway in La Canada, drive 28 miles north on CA-2 (Angeles Crest Highway) to Three Points. Turn left and proceed 100 yards to the trailhead parking lot. Hike approximately 6-7 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail to the camp.
