Route Description for Mount Lowe via Eaton Saddle Hike
If you don’t have the time for a long and challenging route through the mountains, but still want to experience the rugged beauty of the Angeles National Forest landscape, then the Mount Lowe via Eaton Saddle Hike is a great option to explore.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will follow along Mount Lowe Road as it travels west and leads you through the Mueller Tunnel. Shortly after this, you will keep left at a fork and follow the Mount Lowe Trail as it climbs uphill to a saddle.

From here, follow the trail as it leads downhill to the northwest, before turning south to lead you into the Mount Lowe Trail Camp. Continue on along the trail as it turns back to the northwest and eventually meets up with Mount Lowe Road, where you will turn right and follow the road back into the trailhead where you began.
