Hiker Heaven

Memories Made Here

Transportation

 

Transportation from Agua Dulce to gear retailers, grocery stores, train stations, doctors, etc. is available through the good will of volunteers and trail angels. 

 

If you need to get off trail, are planning to start your hike here, or if friends or family are joining you in Agua Dulce, there are a number of options.  Burbank Airport (now Bob Hope Airport) is the closest and easiest to fly in and out of.  LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) is the largest, and offers the most flight options, may offer cheaper flights but is further away and more costly to get to/from.  There is public transit available from LAX to Union Station where you can pick up the Metrolink Trains (see below) to Agua Dulce.  Please note that Ontario Airport is a substantial distance from here.

 

Metrolink Trains are the best thing going from Burbank to Santa Clarita, as well as points north and south.  Hiker Heaven is closest to the Via Princessa Station on the Antelope Valley Line.  Let us know when you're arriving (or have to leave) and we'll arrange a pick-up or drop-off for you.

The Flyaway Bus from LAX to Union Station is a reliable and inexpensive option (then train to Via Princessa).  Antelope Valley Transit provides airport bus service to/from Burbank Airport and LAX.  Super Shuttle will take you door-to-door to/from either Airport.  Cabs, while they're available, is really a very costly option, especially to/from LAX.
