I love the vibe of the area. Jeffrey Pines and White Firs getting quite sizable! I love the Angeles closer to my home, but sometimes I like to go to other places to branch out. Kern County sure has some awesome places. I want to hike to Breckenridge's summit!
The road isn’t maintained very well. 4x4 is recommended. There are some deep ruts that can high center a car pretty easily. I was just up there yesterday.
So there are 2 roads going up to the campground? I would be coming from Tehachapi. I saw the turn off for the campground by havila, is this that same road?
Yes, that’s the same Breckinridge road. It drops down near Havila. This camp ground is off the dirt road at the very top of the mtn. There’s s couple of campgrounds along the main road.
@@Onthelambretta ok thanks, do you happen to know what the condition of the road is now? Any blockages or wash outs? I’ll be scouting it today or next weekend.
Looks like the old KEROTV transmitter. I made many trips up that road to the Transmitter in 1955/56. Took a lot of pictures of it inside and outside. It was nice experiencing that road again. If thats your office who do you work for? Thanks
Cool Video! I took 28S62 off of Breckenridge road one time to get up there, and it was a lot bumpier than I expected. Does this route go through the campground?
You drive right by the campground. If you go over the top you can hit deer spring road and there is another campground that has a great view of the valley to the west and the mountains to the east.
@@AmericanZ28 We come up from the Bakersfield side on Breckenridge road. BR goes over the top to Havlia and from there you can go to Lake Isabella or HWY 58.

I will be heading out that way. Is it a scary drive? Lol

@@Onthelambretta I read that the road is very narrow and steep, is that correct?
@@rockNrolla661 Breckinridge road has some single lane spots and drop offs but go slow and hug the mountain you’ll be fine.

@@chrismedina9571 it’s clear all the way to the top from both directions.
@@Onthelambretta thank you so much for the info!
@@Onthelambretta one more question, could I make it in a 2wd sequoia or should I take my 4x4?

Those would be great to see. I work for KBAK and that's my site, it's just to the east of the current KERO site.
@@Onthelambretta I can send a couple. How do I do that?
@@donayer1449 I messaged you through Facebook, hope I got the correct Don!
@@Onthelambretta Is there snow at the transmitter site right now? Is it muddy up there?
Still some snow and a lot of mud right now.
Are there rabbits around Breckenridge?
Mostly squirrels and deer at the top of the mountain. The rabbits are much lower around 3000'
@@Onthelambretta I appreciate the info. Any rabbit areas you know about would be great. Taking my son out next month.

@@Onthelambretta I'm guessing you normally drive up there from the walker basin?

Any bears in the area going up next weekend?
I haven't seen a bear up there in years. Still be careful. They do move between areas a lot.
Hey are the gnats really bad up there? I drove there June and it was pretty brutal
Depends where you are up there. By my gate they were everywhere. 15' up the road they were gone. Bring bug spray!
