Mt Wilson Toll Rd - Mt Lowe RR Trail Loop

Up Mt. Wilson Toll Rd from Altadena; the rock slide near the top still blocks the Toll Rd so you have to hike the bike over it. Stop at Cosmic Cafe for lunch. Down Red Box Rd to the Mt. Lowe Rd (or Disappointment?), which goes through a tunnel up to Eaton Saddle. There has been a lot of work done along there, and it looks like the trail has been re-opened. Down the Mt. Lowe RR Trail with a short detour to Inspiration Point and back, then on down to the Chaney Trail road, and back to the car along the streets.

Thanks for the share!. is this feasible on a road bike, or do the trails make a mountain bike or gravel bike the wise choice?

I linked this to a mapped route (see "View parent route", above). While this ride isn't technical, I have always done it on a mountain bike.
