Description
Photograph of a view of the arch-entrance to Big Pines Recreational Camp, [s.d.]. The stone archway can be seen at center. An American flag can be seen on the left side of the archway. In the background, a large wooden building can be see. An automobile can be seen parked in front of the building at center. Tall trees are visible in the background.; "In 1923, Los Angeles county established a major recreational facility at Big Pines, an all year resort that included winter and summer sports. Big Pines Recreation Camp (elevation 6,862 feet) had cabins, dining room, fountain and store. Many of the buildings still stand (most notably one of the two stone towers that once supported a pedestrian overpass across Highway 2, west of Wrightwood). Now administered by the U.S. Forest Service, Big Pines continues to be a popular recreation area encompassing three ski resorts, several campgrounds and Jackson Lake." -- unknown author.
