The San Gabriel Crest Trail
A route across the San Gabriel Mountains, hitting a peak most
every day, taking you over Mt San Antonio, the highest.
Iron Mountain
Up Iron Mountain, the steepest trail in the San Gabriel mountains
(in Los Angeles county) rising from 2000' to 8000' in seven miles,
then across the San Antonio ridge.
The Yerba Buena Trail
The Yerba Buena trail travels from Gold Creek Saddle to the bottom
of Pacoima Canyon. I describe my trip, the approach from Sunland, my
exit up the North Fork and alternative exits to Indian Ben Saddle or
Dillon Divide.
The Fish Canyon Trail
In the Saugus District of the Angeles National Forest this trail
travels up Fish Canyon past Rogers Trail Camp, Lion Canyon Trail Camp,
then joins the Gillette Mine Trail.
The Gillette Mine Trail
In the Saugus District of the Angeles National Forest this trail
travels along a ridge then down into Bear Canyon, joins Cienaga
Canyon, ascends over the intervening ridge into Redrock Canyon, over
Redrock Ridge then down into Fish Canyon.
The Burnt Peak Trail
Someone has recently (after May 1999) cleared this trail. I hiked
it with little difficulty in May 2000.
The Barley Flats Trail
An uninspiring trail between Barley Flats and Upper Big Tujunga Road.
The Alder Creek Trail
The old trail from Upper Big Tujunga Road to Loomis Ranch.
The Roundtop Ridge Trail
The continuation of the Alder Creek Trail out of Loomis Ranch up
to Roundtop Ridge.
Pacoima Canyon Trail
A hike up Pacoima Canyon to Buck Canyon to Indian Ben Saddle; a
return along Mendenhall Ridge Road.
The hike that wasn't
I don't always make it. I planned an eleven-day traverse of the
San Gabriels but bailed out early on my first attempt.
Getting to trails of the San Gabriels by bus
How to take city buses to or from some of the trailheads of the
San Gabriel Mountains.
A bicycle ride across the San
Gabriel Mountains
I have spent three Thanksgivings riding across the top of the San
Gabriel Mountains, a trip that takes three to five days, lets me
review the state of the mountains and look down into the LA Basin (or
the smog obscuring it) and Antelope Valley.
