Stops at both visitor centers were interesting, too, especially seeing the first ranger station built in 1900. So amazing to see the Channel Islands as well as Palm Desert from this scenic byway. Really loved the views on SR2 to La Canada/Flintridge as well as to Wrightwood. There is no WiFi and you have to drive 20 minutes or so down the mtn to get a signal.

On the second pass on this narrow one-way road we found one campsite left (#7). Buckhorn Campground Arrived on a Friday close to 4pm and did a complete loop missing the campsites.

Big Bear Lake is nearby, a popular destination for. (Be sure you drive through the two interior loops by turning left at the forks in the road!) The only downer was that between our campsite and the dry streambed a group of 7 teenagers set up camp on what should have been our “side” of the campsite.
