My friend and I are planning to drive Angeles Crest tonight, but I think i read somewhere back that the highway is closed at night? Is this true?

thanks,

Mike from Anaheim

 

The highways azuza 2 north is never closed. I can go with you guys. I go up and practice the turn aleast 2x a week for the past month. Alot of rocks beware. Don't be shy turning your high beems on . Call me if you guys wana roll tonight. Jimmy from Los ANgeles 213 448 1840

 

i wanna come toooo

 

Take care! and watch out for riders!!!

 

Was up FastZ33. Damn hoipe it does'nt rain anymore. Call me if you wana go.

 

my car is in the shop tho lollllll

 

what time u guys planning on going up

 

antime. just give me an hour notice. Wat car you bringing out?
anyonelse wana go?

 

isn't it pouring outside? you guys really wanna do canyons on slick road???

 

Today would be a really bad idea. Rainy and such. Not to mention it's dangerous at night.

 

Nothing crazy. It's our first time out so we'll probably drive it pretty conservative. I've never been one to haul major ***, even in an area i know well. Jimmy, i'll hit you up next time since we aren't ganna move at a very fast pace. I have your contact info saved.

 

, i don't think its a good idea.

Hey julian when you get you car back lets hit the crest again!!!

 

m0nkie, I don't think there will be any riders at night... unless they are retarded but is it just not a good idea to drive the canyons at night esp when it's raining? I'm all down for a canyon run... but just not tonight.

if you guys go... becareful.

 

I'm gonna be f*ckin' sideways when that happens, turbo kit is arriving tomorrow man.

 

turbo kit really !? haha niceee mannn

 

wow angeles crest never been there personally even though its a few exits away from my pad but i know its a burn from local authorities giving out modified tickets to people with modified cars...

such a bummer all the ricers and wannabe accord drifters killed it for people who just want to actually enjoy that place


good luck yo i dont think its a good idea in this weather

 

I missed out on the last crest meet. Im up for this one, its gotta stop raining though.

 

(disclaimer..this isn't fastz33...it's onedirtyz...jacking his account lol)

uh.. wtf is highway azuza 2 north? you're mixing up the GMR/azusa area canyons w/ highway 2 (aka angeles crest)... azusa's like 20+ miles east of angeles crest.

the crest isn't closed at night, no. but the highway hasn't been fully open to wrightwood (north side of angeles crest mountains) for quite a few years already.. the roads washed out one winter and they never fixed them.
however... the road up to the closing point is a great road to drive, even if you're just cruising. angeles crest highway is under city jurisdiction and a part of it is a major thoroughfare to lancaster/palmdale (up to where it meets up with angeles forest highway) so they keep it very well maintained.

if you've never driven the crest before.. start in la canada and head up... there are a few major stops along the way. one where the crest meets angeles forest highway, and then another (bigggg parking lot) right at the base of the road up to mt wilson observatory. it's about a 15-20 minute drive from foothill blvd up to that parking lot.

 

was there this past sunday taking pics and yes they close the top at night, like starting now iirc.

 

i swear to christ "the top" has been closed for YEARS. you can't get through to wrightwood/big pines.
