Access at the bottom of this trail is blocked by a gate and signs. I talked with the owner, and they confirmed that it is private property and have no trespassing signs posted. The north side is open, but there is no way to get onto the south side of the trail.

Description

Lots of street parking on Foothill at Dominica Ave. Hike up Dominica 0.25 miles onto Courtship Ranch and look to the left for the beginning of the fire road. Another 0.25 miles on the road and you'll pass a metal gate into the Angeles National Forest.

The climb up to Oliver Canyon Road is a lesson in the effects of wildfire and the recovery process from it. Loose hillsides slide across the road and join older piles of graded sand, seeded ridges spill color into grassy vales, and little creatures poke their heads out of the grass to watch you hike by. At Oliver Saddle, BP&L Road continues down to its junction with Ebey Herreres Truck Trail
