Mountain biking

Mount Lukens is the highest mountain within the vicinity of Los Angeles. It has become a popular destination for experienced and less experienced outdoors enthusiasts thanks to its accessibility. If you would like to get there via a less crowded route, I would suggest to follow Haines Canyon Road.
