La Canada to Wrightwood Tour

Sunday September 14, 2025

Please join us on our annual tour to Wrightwood. We have been running this tour in various configurations for well over 15 years. This is a very popular tour.

On Sunday September 14, 2025 we'll be driving to Wrightwood via Angeles Crest Highway, and the back side of the San Gabriel Mountains. We chose this route due to the closures on Angeles Crest Highway. This is a different way to get to Wrightwood. It's a very entertaining route. If you choose the option, we will be having lunch at our favorite Wrightwood destination, The Grizzly Cafe.

All Porsches are Welcome! That includes 4 door Porsches!

Please be advised: You must be registered for this event to attend. It takes only a few minutes. This event is limited to 45 cars.

We will start in La Canada, driving up Angeles Crest Highway to Angeles Forest Highway. The rest of the tour will be described in the driving directions handed out at the meeting place.

Directions to the meeting place will be provided on the confirmation page when your registration is complete. Please print your confirmation page at the end of the registration process.

We will meet at 7:15 AM and the first group will depart promptly at 8:30 AM. The mandatory driver meeting will be held at 8:00 AM

Depending on the number of cars registered, we will designate multiple driving groups.

We will let you know your Group assignment via email. Group assignments are random.

Starting up Angeles Crest Highway, the speed limit is 40 MPH until we reach Angeles Forest Highway. We will observe all speed limits, as they allow ample opportunity for spirited driving.

PLEASE NOTE: As stated above we will follow all speed limits on the tour. However, there are certain areas where there are yellow speed advisory signs. These signs are advisory only.

Our Porsches are capable of exceeding those suggestions. Without exceeding the speed limit, chances are we will be going a bit quicker than those signs suggest.

The destination of the morning drive will be the mountain town of Wrightwood, where we end the tour for lunch at the Grizzly Cafe.

Grizzly Cafe

Due to the anticipated size of the event, participants may be divided into groups. Each group requires a lead and sweep car. Are you willing to fill one of these roles?
Even if you are not a lead or sweep car, all members should be familiar with the PCA Tour Guidelines https://www.pca.org/resource/event-guidelines-tour

For safety reasons, Lead and Sweep Cars will use GMRS Radios set to Channel 7, Sub-channel 20 to alert all participants to road conditions. If you have one, please bring it.

Also write down the Mobile numbers of the Lead and Sweep cars that will be given at the Participants' Meeting before the start of the tour.

The tour ends in Wrightwood but there are various options for your return trip:

This is a “Rain or Shine” event.
