SAN GABRIEL MOUNTAINS

    The photos in this gallery were selected from those in the website Adventure Hikes and Canyoneering in the San Gabriels. That website contains descriptions of 57 hikes that take you on an astonishing tour of remote areas of the San Gabriel Mountains. You'll discover dozens of waterfalls that the ordinary hiker should not attempt to visit. (Note the author's warnings and precautions.)
    Perhaps the most awesome is the series of seven waterfalls described and photographed in the Great Falls of the Fox. The author of the website, Christopher Earls Brennen, and his friends rappelled down the waterfalls in Fox Creek, which flows into Tujunga Reservoir north of La Canada-Flintridge.
    We've also found another website which contains of descriptions and photos of 38 hikes in the San Gabriels. Roy's Hikes in the Angeles National Forest is based on John W. Robinson'sTrails of the Angeles, 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels, considered the authoritative book on hiking in these mountains.
