Sturtevant Loop is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 1.7 miles in the Los Angeles Gateway Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of about 2,016 feet to a high of about 2,580 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 535 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Pearblossom show April highs around 75°F and October highs around 80°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes. It is open year-round, and the surrounding area offers plenty to pair with the loop. Winter Creek (Lower) and Winter Creek (Upper) are both within a mile, and Hoegees campground is about 0.9 miles away. Paddlers can reach the West Fork San Gabriel River, about 3.9 miles off.
