The two missing teens have been located.

Unfortunately, their car went over the side of ACH near mile marker 71.5 with both of them in it. The car is at the bottom of a deep ravine under cover of dense trees with both of them inside. No survivors.

Levi and I were the last ones to see them before they left our cabin last Thursday. They both were happy and lighthearted. I’ve known Ethan for several years as a happy, bright and talented young man. He loved all kinds of music and had a beautiful singing voice. Some of you may have run into him working at Newcombs as our busser and dishwasher.

He was a good friend to Levi, and our family is truly heartbroken. We will remember him fondly and often. Don’t take the time spent with the people you love for granted. Hug your friends every chance you get…

RIP Ethan & Sophie

Hello World !

Many of you have been asking for updates and we would like to happily inform you with some exciting news.

It has been a whirlwind for everyone this past Pandemic year and we hope that the Angeles Crest & San Gabriel Mountains has been a safe haven during for you all. Back in late 2019, after the unfortunate passing of our father, my sister and I have decided to put Newcombs Ranch on the market.

My father, Dr. Rundall, has always had a deep passion for the San Gabriel Mountains. He bought the Ranch back in 2001, from Lynn Newcomb, an avid hiker with immense knowledge about nature and the surrounding mountain terrain.
As a kid, I never really understood the importance the Ranch had on its community. LA natives and tourists, motor enthusiasts, hikers and people who wish to escape the high paced city all came to Newcombs. Fast forward 20 years and it’s truly remarkable how much the Ranch and community has grown together.

We hope our entire staff has made your experience up in the mountains a fun and unique one.
To all of our regulars that have been coming for decades- Montrose Search & Rescue, LA County Sheriff, LA County Fire, Cal Trans, US Forestry, New Century BMW, Pro Italia, Christian Camp, Chilao neighbors, family, friends; we truly thank you. You have all made the experience at the Ranch just as memorable for me.

Also a BIG Thank You to the entire staff, especially Mr. Darren Martinelli & Danielle who have been with us since day one and longer !

So many new friendships and lasting memories have been made here in the forest. The amount of love we get is overwhelming & humbling but we cherish it and we are thankful to each n every one of you.
For the past 83 years, it has amassed a unique clientele and rich history. There truly isn’t anything like the Ranch. Newcombs has become such an iconic destination and with it, comes the responsibility to the community that my sister and I have to find the right buyer.

For further details and inquiries, please contact Kennedy Wilson. (310) 887-6226

In these difficult times, we must raise our social consciousness and the awareness of each other’s health and safety. Having said this, we have decided like so many others across the country, to temporarily close our doors to the public in an attempt to minimize and localize the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
This is a difficult decision, but we believe it’s the right thing to do. Many of us may be facing some tough times ahead. Together, as a community and as a family, we will get through to better days.
We truly can’t wait to get back to something like “normal” and see all our friends again. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and STAY HOME...

We’re sorry to say that the Ranch will be Closed for business today due to continuing poor weather. Temps are above freezing with a light drizzle and very, very thick fog. There is some snow up near the ski lifts with more expected through the coming week.
Stay warm, stay healthy and we’ll see you soon...

03/14/2020

We will be open this weekend!!... Don’t let the coronavirus keep you inside the house all day. Get up here to the San Gabriel mountains and enjoy the last (and first) gasps of winter!! We got a nice lil snowfall on Thursday afternoon (that has since melted here), and there is quite of snow a bit up the road at higher elevation. We are expecting a lil drizzle and short showers the first half of today with some nice clearing happening Sunday before the next round of weather rolls through mon/tues... temps are above freezing so there shouldn’t be any ice on the highway, but watch for rocks and gravel...
Now, I could be mistaken, but I hear that elevations higher than 5000’ help to eliminate the chance of catching illnesses like the Coronavirus... we’ll be keeping the place clean and following suggested protocols anyways though!!...
We really look forward to seeing all our happy (healthy) friends soon!!...

03/13/2020

Snow levels were supposed to have remained above 7000ft, but things change quickly up here... around 4:30pm we started to get heavy, slushy snow down below 5000ft... the second half of this storm is set to move through the area throughout the day today and we should see some clearing skies through the weekend before the next round hits...
We are very grateful to finally be getting some winter weather, however, Newcombs Ranch will be Closed today due to the rain/snow... we look forward to seeing everyone soon, stay healthy down there flatlanders!!...

02/22/2020

The Ranch will be closed today while this little winter storm moves through. We got sprinkled on a bit overnight with a lil dusting of snow up higher. More expected through the rest of today. Expecting to be open for Sunday with considerably warmer and drier weather...

This last round of Winter has us buried under almost 3 feet of powdery snow. Unfortunately, most of the Crest Hwy is buried under that same pile of chilly goodness and is closed to all traffic until CalTrans can get it cleaned up and under control. Our parking lot is waist-deep and access to the high country is by snowshoe (and sheer determination) only. That being said, Newcomb’s will be closed for this weekend or until safe access is possible again. We are sorry for Mother Nature’s inconvenience and we look forward to seeing all our friends up here bundled up and having fun soon.
