Beale's Cut — photo spot in 22580 Sierra Hwy, Sylmar, CA 91342, USA
Beale's Cut
Beale's Cut is a narrow, historic 19th‑century wagon pass carved into sandstone—rich textures, carved wagon ruts and steep walls framed by scrub and distant freeway vistas. Access is limited by fencing and overgrown trails; hike ~30 mins round‑trip from Sierra Hwy (good boots, long pants). Best light: low sun (golden hour) to bring out striations; weekday mornings are quiet. No formal entry—park at pullouts on Sierra Hwy and respect barriers and signage.
