Eagles Roost Picnic Area Trail Head: distance indicated is west of Grassy Hollow

Eagles Roost Picnic Area 15.5 miles from Grassy Hollow

After you go through the tunnels above Islip Saddle, proceed about 1 mile to the Eagles Roost Picnic area on the left side of the highway. The PCT goes down an old fire road directly across the highway from the picnic area. You come to a nice stream in a little over 1 mile. Three more miles brings you to the intersection with the Burkhart Trail. See Hike 64 in "Trails of the Angeles". You have options here. First you can return to Eagles Roost. Turning left on the Burkhart Trail brings you to Buckhorn Campground in 1.4 miles. You reach a nice waterfall 0.3 miles after the intersect. Turning right on the Burkhart would take you to Devil's Punchbowl Park in about 11 miles. Get more directions before trying this one. Staying on the PCT at the intersect will take you past the Cooper Canyon Trail Camp and on to Cloudburst Summit on Highway 2 in 3.5 miles.
