LA’s Mountainside Restaurant Adams’ Pack Station Comes Up For Sale | Eater LA

"Operating since 1936, this historic backcountry outpost in the Angeles National Forest functions both as a weekend restaurant and a working donkey pack company that carries supplies into the remote wilderness. I found it to be a rustic respite for hikers and day trippers—live music, grilled meat, beer, hot dogs, cowboy chili, and snacks are staples—and it serves cyclists, families, and pass-through multi-day hikers alike. Originally opened to provide hot meals, mail deliveries, and supplies for summer forest weekends, it remains linked to nearby camps and still draws a steady weekend crowd. Longtime owners Deb and Sue Burgess are selling the entire property and the U.S. Forest Service operation permit (including an on-site home, a bunk house, the barn, the donkeys, all restaurant equipment and paperwork, and a license to serve alcohol) with a current asking price of $500,000; contact the Adams’ Pack Station directly for inquiries." - Farley Elliott
