Angeles Crest Scenic Byway (Route 2)
Wrightwood, CA

Wrightwood, only 15 miles off of Interstate 15, is a quiet mountain resort town. The town has numerous lodging facilities, quaint boutiques, and fine restaurants. The seasons affect Wrightwood more than its giant neighbor to the south west. The summer months allow for great camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. The winter, on the other hand, brings with it enough snow for all sorts of winter activities. Wrightwood is popular for its first class skiing, some of the finest in Southern California. Whatever the season, Wrightwood is synonymous with "plain old fun!"

The area where Wrightwood is found was originally inhabited by the Serrano Indians. Later, the area became a cattle ranch, followed by a major apple orchard, and finally, the mountain resort town that it is today. Some of Wrightwood's past can be seen in a few historical buildings that still stand, and that are still used.
