Explore the San Gabriel Mountains with This Authoritative Hiking Guide
Escape the rapid-paced urban life of Southern California, and step into the open, rugged terrain of the San Gabriel Mountains. Here, amid forest, chaparral, and stream, you'll revitalize yourself in nature's unhurried environment. Visit Eaton Canyon Falls, the most popular waterfall in the Angeles National Forest. Enjoy a family-friendly hike to a historic fire lookout site on Vetter Mountain. Challenge yourself on the San Antonio Ridge, the hardest traverse in the Angeles.
Now in its 10th edition, Trail of the Angeles by David Harris and John W. Robinson has been the region's trusted hiking guide for more than 45 years. It describes 100 spectacular trails-ranging from one-hour strolls to challenging two-day backcountry trips-in the mountain range that looms large over the Los Angeles Basin. Featuring 18 new hikes, Trail of the Angeles guides you into almost every corner of the San Gabriels.
Inside You'll Find:
Descriptions of 100 hikes, including 18 new outings
Trip difficulty evaluations, season recommendations, length, and elevation gain/loss
Historical photos and descriptions, including the first American Indian footpaths, early pioneer homesteads, and landmarks still visible from the Great Hiking Era
"Trails That Used to Be": ghost trails that have vanished or are now impassable
BONUS: A folded full-color map detailing all the hikes described in the book
David Harris is a professor of engineering at Harvey Mudd College. He is the author or coauthor of seven hiking guidebooks and five engineering textbooks. David grew up rambling about the Desolation Wilderness as a toddler in his father's pack and later roamed the High Sierra as a Boy Scout. As a Sierra Club trip leader, he organized mountaineering trips throughout the Sierra Nevada. Since 1999, he has been exploring the mountains and deserts of Southern California. David is the father of three sons, with whom he loves sharing the outdoors. Author John Robinson hiked the San Gabriels for more than four decades and was considered the foremost expert on the trails of these mountains. He wrote the first edition of "Trails of the Angeles" in 1971 and soon followed with "San Bernardino Mountain Trails," in addition to three High Sierra hiking guides and five books on Southern California mountain history and lore.
