MLTC is found at the end of The Mt Lowe Historic RR Trail. The site of The Alpine Tavern, which burned down early in the last century, was a getaway for the elite of LA and Hollywood. The ruins can be seen as you enter the campground and if you wander about the camp. It has a privy and limited but very nice tent sites. Water is iffy as it is spring fed and must be filtered. If you're overnighting bring minimum 10 liters of water JIC and be prepared to pack out your garbage. Open fires are not allowed so a csmpstove is a must. This is a great overnight reststop if youre hiking up to Mt Wilson. Inspiration Point is .3 miles away if you want a spectacular view of the city lights coming on around dusk. Trailhead parking can be found at Millard Campground and Picnic Area or at the Cobb Estate. If you park at Millard take Sunset Ridge Trail up to the Cape of Good Hope where it Mets the Mt Lowe Historic RR Trail. If you park at the Cobb Estate, hike up to Echo Mountain then continue up the Mt Lowe Historic RR Trail. Both are moderate hikes with a round-trip length of approximately 10 to 15 miles depending on your return route. Take at least 6 liters of water, plenty of snacks, insect repellent for the biting flies, map or GPS, a hat, jacket or sweater and your cellphone.

I love hiking Mount Lowe and do so weekly-biweekly. Depending on how late in the day you start you’ll definitely run into some stop and go traffic. For those who dont mind getting down on all four, id recommend Cobb Estate to Mount Echo to Inspiration point to Mount Lowe . In between Inspiration and Lowe is when you’ll need all four. I minus 1 star because there’s always a lot of trash i pick up along the way. I always come with small/medium trash bags and end up filling at LEAST one bag.
