navitat's home in southern california

Navitat Wrightwood is tucked away in the rugged San Gabriel Mountains that provide the scenic backdrop to Los Angeles. A short drive, but a world away from the busy city, our site simultaneously offers solitude and adventure in southern California’s playground.

Navitat Wrightwood is adjacent to Angeles National Forest – the most visited National Forest in the state and one of the few remaining open spaces in the region. At 6,000 feet or more in elevation discover and explore the grandeur of massive pine trees; marvel at the breath-taking and scenic views of the Mojave Desert and the southern Sierra Nevada; come see the San Andreas Fault for which the area is famous; and perhaps get a glimpse of the diversity of wildlife that occur on-site.

From the towering trees to the dramatic landscape, Navitat Wrightwood offers a one-of-a-kind, mountain experience unique to the greater Los Angeles area.

Snow Plant

"Without fragrance, it stands beneath the pines and firs lonely and silent, as if unacquainted with any other plant in the world; never moving in the wildest storms; rigid as if lifeless, though covered with beautiful rosy flowers." - John Muir (on the Snow Plant)
