Looking south on the Ridge Route's northern boundary with Angeles National Forest. The 28 miles to Castaic is to the site of the historic Castaic School in Castaic, now the site of a Fire Station. To the right of the photograph is a "No Firearms" sign and a sign announcing the beginning of The Ridge Route as protected on the National Register of Historic Places to southbound travelers.

The northbound traveler before 1933 would continue to Gorman and Lebec, then endure the steeply graded and curved Deadman's Curve - and probably take a break at the first flat spot in the San Joaquin Valley in the original townsite of Grapevine, now paved over by Interstate 5. Except for Gorman Post Road, most of the original Ridge Route north of this photograph's location is paved under Interstate 5, with a small section replaced by part of California State Highway 138. The photo tour offered here is over, yet the traveler's tour can continue on to the historical northern Ridge Route terminus at the modern day traveler's stop of Grapevine - if so desired. Photo from private collection of avnative.
