EISPIRATEN

Hey,

I'm hiking with friends this weekend and they're coming from the other side of town so it makes sense to meet up in La Canada instead of my house and then get in one car (mine, with the adventure pass) and head off to the trail. Is there somewhere good for us to meet in La Canada where they can leave their car? Are there a lot of parking restrictions in the town or can we just park their car on a side street somewhere?

I generally hike alone and don't have to deal with these logistics

Thanks!!

Oh, what about the turnouts on the 2 before it says "fee recreation area". Isn't there a couple of turnouts before that? Is it ok to park there?

Thanks again

There is plenty of free, safe parking on the 2 just north of the 210. The Sierra club meets and carpools from there, and it's always full of hiker-types.

Yeah
The La Canada carpool point on Angeles Crest Highway!

There's also a large Park and Ride lot off of the Lowell Ave exit, just south of the 210.

Thanks so much!!

Clearly I've been living in LA proper for too long that I expect restricted parking everywhere always. I drove up the 2 this morning and noticed no parking restrictions at all in the areas you mentioned! Or hardly any in La Canada anywhere!
