Airport is the closest to TMF and is approximately a 45-minute
drive. From LAX the driving time is about 2 hours. On the approach
to TMF all but the last 15 miles is on major freeways.
From
any airport, or other location, in the Los Angeles basin first make
your way to the 10 Freeway and proceed east in the direction of San
Bernardino. At the junction with the 15 turn north towards Las Vegas
and Barstow (see map) and follow this to the turnoff onto Highway
138. Turn left (west) onto Highway 138 sign-posted to Palmdale and
Wrightwood.
Continue to the junction with the Angeles Crest Highway, Highway
2, which you should follow through the town of Wrightwood to the junction
at Big Pines Ranger Station. There is a large stone tower at the ranger
station, which provides a landmark. Take the first right turn onto
Table Mountain Road (sign-posted to Mountain High North Tubing Park) and follow this road
to the ski area. Proceed across the ski area parking lot and stay
to the right of the ski lodge where you will find a narrow road and
a "Do Not Enter" sign and barracade. Continue up this road which brings
you to the front gates of the Table Mountain Facility.
The
gates are closed at all times for security reasons. There is a
phone at the fence, please call the facility operations number (which
is posted, 3650), during regular work hours. Facility personnel will
answer, introduce yourself and state your business at the facility.
After hours you may get a recording, leave the same information and
wait until the off hours personnel can respond to your request. (Usually
only a few minutes)
The
facility personnel will remotely open the gate for you, drive
to the first building, park and go in to register at the desk. You
must have picture identification on you to be permitted on site. If
you are a JPL employee you will be required to wear your JPL badge
at all times, if you are a visitor, you will be issued a visitor's
badge which also must be worn at all times, no exceptions. Please
do not hesitate to contact us if further information or help of any
kind is needed.
