    The Glendora Ridge Motorway Hike is a laid back, intermediate-length adventure in Angeles National Forest that will lead you along a ridge with scenic views. While out on the trail, you will follow along an old road that can no longer be accessed by vehicles, creating a pleasant path for both hikers and mountain bikers alike. Hikers should take note that the road leading up to the trailhead is closed seasonally, and will require you to reach it by foot during the winter months.
