Top: This is the top or saddle. From the left is where we rode up. Elevation is just over 3400 feet. The fork to the right will take you along the mountain top ridge, eleven miles to Mt Baldy village with another 1500 feet of vertical climbing. Behind me in the picture is an 11 mile mostly downhill into Glendora. I last rode this earlier in this year and dropped my little ride-along camera on the bridge below and lost the battery. that day the ascent was in complete fog and light rain with temps in the low 50's.
Bottom: Once started on the downhill you can look over the side of the road and see where you came up from. the road on the other side of the dam is San Gabriel Canyon Road and this is the second dam on the way up at about 6 miles in.
