Trailhead
Angeles National Forest, California
The Forest Service trailhead joins Islip Ridge Trail and the connected Windy Gap/PCT high-country network.
The source record provides no water or developed overnight facilities; carry water and confirm Highway 2, weather, and Angeles closure status before departure.
Seasonal access
No recurring date-based closure of Islip Wawona Trailhead is published. Islip Saddle or signed Burkhart/PCT access and temporary emergency orders still control access.
Islip Saddle or signed Burkhart/PCT access: Use the signed Islip Wawona Trailhead access in Angeles National Forest, California. Use only a currently open signed trailhead and legal Angeles Crest Highway parking. Vincent Gap and Heaton Flats remain withheld pending source-connected overnight routes. Pleasant View Ridge can be affected by winter snow and ice, summer heat, strong wind, wildfire, and post-fire recovery orders without a fixed annual closure date.
Check Angeles alerts and the exact Islip Saddle, Burkhart, or PCT approach; an expired order does not prove every route is open.
