Adam's Pack Station

Originally named the Wee Um Attaxum Pack Station, the "newly" named Adam's Pack Station has been helping residents of the Angeles National Forest for over SEVENTY YEARS. In 2004, then owner Bill Adams died at the age of 84. He and his wife, Lila, operated the pack station for over FORTY YEARS. Located in the Chantry Flats area of the Angeles National Forest in CA, this pack station has been delivering goods and mail to the residents of Big Santa Anita canyons and Sturtevant Camp. These areas are so remote, and the cabins so rustic, that the mule train is all that links them to food, gas, and mail. The mule team drops into the canyons once a week to deliver up to 200lbs per animal of necessities.
The first pack station was built in the 1930's and is still a vital link to those living in the mountains. They also now offer a concession stand for hungry hikers and mountain bikers, thanks to new owners Deb and Sue Burgess. this mother and daughter team dutifully have taken over the last pack station in So Cal, and are the only FEMALE OWNERS in he country of any pack station. They have a stable of thirteen mules, and deliver to eighty two cabins each week. The station is rich in history, and is one of a only a handfull left in the United States. It is open for business, and if you get the chance, please check it out!
