Vetter Mountain

Vetter Mountain & Mt. Mooney in Angeles National Forest

A chance to visit a new fire lookout in the middle of Angeles National Forest.  It was under construction when we made the video and it survived the fire season of 2020.  Follow 3N16 1.3 miles, keeping left at forks, to a dirt road barred by a gate, while the paved road goes off to the right.  Go around the gate and hike up the dirt road to the old lookout on the summit.
