About

Stoddard Peak is a summit of 4,611 feet in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Ranger District of Angeles National Forest, about 2.8 miles from San Antonio Heights, California. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the nearby Wrightwood weather station show May highs around 69°F and October highs around 64°F, while winter highs sit in the upper 40s with lows near 25°F. That station sits about 1,400 feet higher than the peak, so temperatures on the summit run warmer than those figures. The Stoddard Peak Hiking Trail starts about 0.4 miles away, and the Barrett Stoddard Truck Trail is about half a mile off. The Joatngna Trail is roughly 1.4 miles away, and Manker Flat campground is about 5 miles away.
