The Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area in Southern California.

What: Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area, 28000 Devil’s Punchbowl Rd., Pearblossom, CA, 93553, (661) 944-2743, and a circumnavigation of the San Gabriel Mountains.
How to Get There: From the south, pick up SR 210 east, slab it to I-15 north, climb through the Cajon Pass (watch the winds; they can tip tractor trailers), make a quick left on SR 138 (Angeles Crest Highway), and pick up Lone Pine Canyon Road. From there, follow the directions outlined above.
Best Kept Secret: The Devil’s Punchbowl itself. It’s tucked away in the San Gabriels’ northern slopes and few people know about it. Try the Grizzly Café’s French toast in Wrightwood; you can thank me later.
Avoid: Speeding on the Angeles Crest Highway (it’s heavily patrolled). Don’t use a navigation program; it will tell you the most direct route to the Devil’s Punchbowl, and what would be the fun in that?
