A couple miles later, we’ll enter unincorporated Wrightwood.

APM: 63

Location: Angeles Crest Hwy at SR 39, Los Angeles Cty

SR 39 is located to the left of here. The road is still on the books as California SR 39, but it has not actually been open since 1978. Because it’s officially still on the books, I walked it, so there is coverage here. But it is not actually a driveable route.
