PLEASE NOTE:

Due to various forest fires over the past number of years, access to some of the peaks on the Lower Peaks List may be restricted or prohibited. Please check with the appropriate authorities before planning a hike. For your convenience, here are links to the four National Forests that contain many of our peaks:

Angeles National Forest: www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/
Los Padres National Forest: www.fs.fed.us/r5/lospadres
San Bernardino National Forest: www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardino/
Cleveland National Forest: www.fs.fed.us/r5/cleveland

 

Also, this link will take you to a page on the ArcGIS Online site that contains an excellent map of the Station Fire closure area. You can fairly easily tell from the map which peaks, trails, etc. are in the closure area. It may take a little while to load the first time.

The Lower Peaks Committee is an entity of the Angeles Chapter of the Sierra Club. Our Purpose... To explore and enjoy the mountains around us and to encourage protection and preservation of Lower Elevation Ranges in Southern California The group is limiting itself to hiking mountain peaks below 5000' in elevation, currently 81 named summits. There are many more mountain peaks above 5000' in elevation to climb in the Hundred Peaks Section. The Lower Peaks Section encompasses summits below 5,000' in elevation of interest to Southern California hiking enthusiasts. We select only those peaks that are of climbing, historical or geological interest and those which present us with special panoramic views.
