Camp Five Canyon

Originally explored and beta'd by Matt Maxon. This canyon is located between Classic Canyon and Lucas Creek (Lower) in the Big Tujunga region of ANF. Doing this canyon will be most likely be combined with Fall Creek, but certainly can be done alone as we did it on 11/15/2008. On 12/1/2013 with Alden Anderson and Bernd Hasse we did this without a shuttle by ascending the ridge to "Camp 5" where cistern "TOO-LATE" is located then down the short road and through the locked gate back tour vehicles at the drop-in point

Could not be easier. Cross Angeles Forest Highway from the parking area. Watch for high speed vehicle traffic when crossing the road

The original Beta had this as a nice tree shaded canyon Post Station Fire it is brush choked and blocked in numerous places with dead falls festooned with Blackberry Brambles, Throughwort (Canyon Kelp), Poison Oak etc. We pushed through it all to the top of the 150 foot drop (R1)
