    Route Description for Gould Mesa Hike

    If you are after a relaxing hike through the Angeles National Forest that isn’t too far from the city and the entire family will be able to enjoy, then you will certainly want to check out this hike.

    Setting out from the trailhead, you will follow along the edge of the Arroyo Seco river as it heads into the undulating landscape to the northwest. Here, you will be able to relax in the outdoors, as you walk along shady paths and take in the natural beauty of the riverside setting.

    Eventually, you will arrive at the Gould Mesa Campground, which is a great spot to set up camp and spend a few nights outdoors. If you are keen on returning, simply follow the same trail back to the starting point of your hike.
