See Chantry Flat Road.
Trail Map and Trail Mileages The following map shows the trails that originate at Chantry Flat and ones that are near Chantry Flat and are connected to those trails. The map below is linked to a larger map.
On the right is a table identifying the trails and giving our best estimate of the mileages for each trail, as well as the key to the trail numbers and location letters on the map. (Mileages for the Gabrielino Trail are given in the table below, and with segments of the Gabrielino Trail color-coded in Trails From Chantry Flat: Mileage For Trail Segments.)
Many of the mileages have been measured with a wheel, and thus are much more accurate than most trail mileages. Comparisons of several such measurements show that the uncertainty is probably ~0.02.

Notes on the map:
- The map is slightly incomplete:
- the Mt. Wilson Rim Trail (heading west from Newcomb Pass) is not shown at the top;
- the continuation of the Gabrielino Trail is not shown at the top; and
- the portion of the First Water Trail that goes south at the Big Santa Anita Creek is not shown.
- Both maps have a scale on them, since the maps will have different physical sizes on various screens and when printed. Note that scales are given in both the horizontal and vertical directions, since there are slight differences between the horizontal and vertical scales. The large map is close to having the same scale in both directions. The smaller map has been distorted a bit to fit on a screen.
