Chilao Campground

Highlight • Rest Area

Chilao Campground offers two loops for camping: Little Pine and Manzanita. Little Pine is closer to Highway 2 and close to the scenic Silver Moccasin Trail that leads to Mount Baden-Powell. For 12 Dollars a night, you will find campsites nestled under or amoung pine trees, a great view over the Angeles National Forest, picnic benches, restrooms and potable water. It is a nice basecamp for hikes in the area.

Mount Hillyer

Highlight • Summit

After threading your way through a maze of boulders and pine trees (but on a well-marked trail), you reach the summit of Mount Hillyer. Although this is a fun, moderate climb, with easy access, this relatively flat summit feels remote and although you might encounter mountain bikers, you will proably only see a few other hikers if any.

Mount Hillyer Trail

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful trail with a steep uphill section at the end. This final piece of the uphill is called the "wall". Despite the short hike-a-bike section it is super fun to ride this trail.
