Detailed Directions
DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

Starting point: Junction of I-5 and the Antelope Valley Fwy. (SR-14): Go N on SR-14 30.4 mi. to Angeles Forest Hwy. and turn RIGHT. Go over the bridge at the end of the off ramp and drive S. on Angeles Forest Hwy. for 1.4 mi. to E. Soledad Pass Rd. (dirt) and turn LEFT. Go about 50 yards E. on Soledad Pass Rd. and turn LEFT on the small dirt road. That road will wind it's way N. along the Angeles Forest Hwy. for about 0.7 mi. and then head E. up the hill. Follow the most-traveled route up the hill about 1.3 mi. to where you drive between 2 huge power line towers. From this point on, turn LEFT at all main intersections until you can see the cellular towers to the North. That's where you want to go.

From the cell tower down, it's steep, rough, and loose. If you don't have a 4WD vehicle, park near the large cell tower and walk N. down the trail to the flying site. If you do have a 4WD vehicle, you still might want to park near the large cell tower, walk down, and check things out before you try to drive down there.
