Table of contents

The Stoddard Peak Hike is a great excursion for those times when you feel like spending the day exploring Angeles National Forest. While out on the trail, you will steadily gain elevation into the mountains, summiting two false peaks before arriving at the top of Stoddard Peak itself. Make sure that you wear proper hiking boots with good support, as the upper portion of this trail features a mini scramble to reach the summit of Stoddard Peak.

Route Description for Stoddard Peak Hike

For those adventurers who want to get out and explore the mountains, but don’t want to face a long or technically challenging trail, the Stoddard Peak Hike is a great option to explore. Make sure that you purchase a valid adventure pass prior to beginning your excursion.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way initially to the southeast along the Barrett Stoddard Truck Trail, where you will cross over San Antonio Creek. Eventually, this route will bend more directly to the south and begin climbing further uphill into the mountains.

Take some time to appreciate the sweeping landscape views, as you steadily climb the mountainside and make a brief scramble up to the top of Stoddard Peak. Once there, you can pause for a break while atop your mountain perch, before navigating the same trail back down to your vehicle below.

Getting to the Stoddard Peak Hike Trailhead
