Winter is in full swing at Crystal Lake Cafe ❄️
We’ve received about two and a half feet of fresh snow, and the mountains are looking absolutely incredible. It’s the perfect time to experience a true winter scene right here in Los Angeles County’s backyard. The café is surrounded by snow-covered trees and bright white peaks a view you truly have to see in person.
The road has been fully cleared thanks to Caltrans and there are currently no chain requirements, making the drive up smooth and accessible. We truly appreciate the work they’ve done to keep the route safe and open.
We even spotted a giant bear last night a reminder that you’re stepping into real mountain wilderness.
Bring the family, enjoy the fresh mountain air, and let the kids experience the magic of snow close to home.

Come up, take in the beauty, and make a winter memory while the snow is here.
