A morning, with the drive up
Via Angeles Crest Hwy (SR-2) from La Cañada; the highway is closed beyond Newcomb's, so confirm conditions first.
Large roadside lot.
Open; the Friday meet is free.
The establishment is closed, but the lot is a living institution — the Good Vibes founders hand out coffee and donuts to whoever makes the climb.
No services (the building's shut), the road past Newcomb's is closed, and the climb is long and remote — plan accordingly.
The famous Angeles Crest Highway roadhouse closed during the pandemic — but its parking lot lives on as the Friday-morning endpoint of the Good Vibes Breakfast Club, where cars and bikes gather after the 100+ corner climb up Highway 2.
