Sunset Ridge is a short, easy hike in the Los Angeles Gateway Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back of about 0.2 miles, with a high point of 2,215 feet and a low of 2,193 feet, so it's a flat walk with no real climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pasadena show April highs around 76°F and October highs around 83°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. That station sits well below the ridge, so temperatures up high run cooler. Sunset Ridge Lower lies about 0.1 mile away, and Chaney Trail and Millard Falls Trail are each about 0.2 mile off. Millard campground is also about 0.2 mile away.
