Strawberry Peak Hike Guide

You’ll get some nice views of Mt Wilson as you climb this section.

Once you cross the street the trailhead is easy to spot, and there’s a sign marking the trailhead as well.

Head to the far end of the Red Box Picnic Area parking lot.

The out and back route climbs from Red Box to Lawlor Saddle, then continues along the ridge to the Strawberry Peak summit at 6,159 feet.

Right next to the picnic area is Haramokngna American Indian Cultural Center which celebrates the culture and history of the first peoples of Los Angeles County.

The Red Box Picnic Area trailhead is at the junction of Angeles Crest Highway and Mt Wilson Red Box Road. Mt Wilson Red Box Road is a popular road for people working on Mt Wilson, so you might see more traffic than you expect.

From the 3d map you can easily see the sections: the initial climb from the trailhead, the mellow ridge along the side of Mt Lawlor, and then the steep climb to Strawberry Peak at the end.

After a short uphill section in the beginning, the trail levels out for a bit before a final steep climb to the summit.
