Devils Chair Trail

The Devil's Punchbowl is a point where 2 faults collide, creating a wall as high as 300 feet. It is a spectacular setting, with the high desert spreading out on one side and the Angeles National forest on the other. The hike takes you along the rim of the Punchbowl, to the Devil's Chair, a breathtaking overlook with a view of the geologic formations. The rainbow of rock surrounds the Devil's Chair with chalk white cliffs, tan crags, chocolate brown slabs, and green-gray ledges. This is combined with the green of the mountains and the blue sky, it makes for a memorable image. Hikers with extra energy may want to take the 1 mile loop trail, which drops down into the punchbowl. It can get really hot in this area so summer hikers should bring lots of water.
