Climb out of the Brookside Golf Club area and into the Pasadena suburban area. This climb has a nice shoulder and is lined with trees.

The Rose Bowl Loop Trail is a 3.3-mile paved loop that includes both the stadium and Brookside Golf Course. It's a local favorite fitness track for runners, walkers, and cyclists with picturesque views of the San Gabriel Mountains. This 5K loop is often featured in fundraising events, including the annual Walk to End Epilepsy.

This is where you leave Crystal Lake Road to get to Crystal Lake. Crystal Lake is a beautiful lake in the San Gabriel Mountains. If you want to stay the night, there are campsites on the banks of the lake.

The Crystal Lake climb begins in the Angeles National Forest, offering cyclists a moderately challenging route through some scenic landscapes. As you approach the 7-mile mark, the climb starts to reward your efforts with dramatic views of the winding switchbacks and the canyon below. The final stretch on Crystal Lake Road provides a peaceful, lightly trafficked road, ideal for cyclists to finish the climb on a well-maintained path with stunning views ahead.

Highway 39 climbs deep into Southern California’s San Gabriel Mountains, starting with a steady grade that twists through rugged terrain and offers sweeping views. After passing multiple switchbacks, a Crystal Lake turnoff, and a gated parking area around mile 12, the road softens slightly, continuing along a scenic ridgeline toward the junction with Angeles Crest Highway. A final moderate push leads you to Dawson Saddle at just under 8,000 feet, a summit raced by the pros and known as one of California’s most difficult ascents.
