Big Pines Recreation Camp (elevation 6,862) was developed in 1923 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Parks and Recreation. It became a year-round resort with crowds of up to 10,000 on many weekends. Big Pines is located four miles west of Wrightwood in the Angeles National Forest. In 1940 Los Angeles County transferred the land to the U.S. Forest Service. Big Pines continues to be a popular recreation area, with three ski resorts, campgrounds and Jackson Lake. Three people at Big Pines Recreation Camp wearing show shoes golfing in the snow. One woman is putting, aiming for a hole a few feet away, while the other two players look on. A group of three other people stand together a few feet away. Cars are parked under the trees behind the golfers.
