That's Angeles Crest Highway winding toward Clear Creek Ranger Station where Angeles Forest Highway joins it.  This shot is taken from Red Box.

This, and the following 5 shots below, is taken from a turnout off Hwy 2 just north of Upper Tujunga Canyon Road.  I tried to capture a silhouette of the ridge.

Beyond that blue ridge at the far right, you can see a ridge farther in the distance.  That's the San Gabriel Mountain ridge above Duarte.  I need a better wide-angle lens.

The tree at the bottom left obscures the cabin.  This shot is taken from a turnout on the west end of the Buckhorn campground off Angeles Crest Highway 2.

Highway 2 near Buckhorn.  Newcomb's Ranch Restaurant and Bar is down the road a bit.

Shot of Buckhorn . . . kind of.

This is the best shot of the desert I got from Buckhorn today.

Desert's a little hazy in the distance.

I shot this at Red Box, the junction of Angeles Crest and Mt. Wilson Road, at about 4:20pm.  Red Box, the junction and canyon, are named for the large red box where fire fighting tools were stored in the early part of last century.

I like how the ridges repeat in the distance.
