Right Time For Wrightwood

Rabbitbrush, Wrightwood (10/17/19) Lance Pifer

It’s a good time, you might say the right time to head to Wrightwood.

First developed as a cattle ranching area, Wrightwood became a San Gabriel Mountain winter destination in the late ’40s when a ski area was opened there within an easy drive of Los Angeles. It’s called Mountain High, today.

That seems appropriate, as you get a mountain high from the beauty of autumn in Wrightwood.

Rabbitbrush, black and Fremont oak, bigleaf maple, white alder, creek dogwood, bitter cherry, blue and black elderberry, velvet ash and choke cherry provide a beautiful mix of deciduous color and berries.

Lance Pifer visited and sent back just the right mix for Wrightwood.
