Chilao Trail Head: distance indicated is west of Grassy Hollow

Chilao 32.2 miles from Grassy Hollow

The Silver Moccasin Trail mentioned above passes through here. Parking a car here would give you an 8 mile car shuttle hike from Cloudburst Summit. The Silver Moccasin continues on, reaching Charlton Flat in another 4 miles and would make the hike from Cloudburst Summit 12 miles. Staying on this trail after Charlton would bring you to Shortcut Junction on Highway 2 in 4 more miles. Every hike on the Silver Moccasin south of Three Points is hot and dry most of the year.

From Chilao there is a 6 mile round trip hike to Horse Flats and Mt. Hillyer. See Hike 57 in "Trails of the Angeles" for details.

There is an easy 2 mile round trip hike from Charlton Flat to Vetter Mountain Lookout. This is a working Forest Service Fire Lookout, staffed by volunteers and it has a neat view. See Hike 54b in "Trails of the Angeles".
