Around Mt wilson to Mt. Baldy, some of roads are closed, right?

I'm thinking to ride at Glendora to Mt. Baldy this weekends.

Does any one know that those roads are closed or open?

Thank you guys.

Wow, that's good web site.

Thank you so much.

I guess I have to change my route. Because a road from Glendora to Mt. Baldy is closed. =(

The entire ANF south of the 138 and east of the 14 is closed now but the Daily News had a story that said it may open up in weeks not months.

Note that the LA County Public Works road closures page shows only closed county roads, not closed city streets or state highways.

Most notably, SR-2, Angeles Crest Highway, is still closed, but it is not shown with a red line on the county's map; you have to check the Caltrans highway conditions page (http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi, then enter the highway number), which reports:


SR 2
[ . . . ]
IS CLOSED FROM 2.2 MI EAST OF THE EAST JCT OF I 210 (LOS ANGELES CO) TO
2.3 MI WEST OF THE LOS ANGELES/SAN BERNARDINO CO LINE - DUE TO A WILDLAND FIRE
- A DETOUR IS AVAILABLE

The Angeles National Forest has a road conditions page, but it's badly out of date; the current closure orders, however, are posted at http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/angeles/orders/.
