Condor Peak sits at 5,440 feet in the western section of Angeles National Forest. Once home to nesting California Condors, the trail is now a well-maintained 14-mile route with serious elevation gain and exposure. This guide covers the most popular approach, what to expect on the climb, and how to handle the ridge sections. The trail is challenging but accessible for hikers comfortable with sustained elevation and some scrambling. Best hiked in cooler months when temps are manageable and views stretch across the LA basin.
