As the PCT descends from the Angeles National Forest, it opens the view to the next section ahead: the flat Mojave Desert, that can be hot after March, but is a perfect temperature until early spring. Enjoy the sweeping panoramic views to the north from every other turn of the trail, hugging the contours of the ridge.
