Mt. Mooney

Hiking Mt. Mooney and Vetter Mountain

From the parking area (5600'+), hike west up a jeep road behind a dirt berm to the summit. Many use trails that initially look promising only to be blocked by sharp brush - just make your way slowly and you will get there.

Trailhead:

100 yards past the Charlton Flats Picnic Site on Angeles Crest Highway there is a paved road on the right. Turn right (north). Keep right at an immediate fork. The road becomes dirt at 0.1 mile. Follow it 0.6 mile to a wide flat area at a saddle. Park here. (34.304588, -118.002012)
