Los Angeles River Ranger District
The slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains are covered with spring-blooming chaparral which is broken only by densely-shaded riparian canyons. Thick stands of sycamores, alders, and cottonwoods grow along the banks of rocky streams while smooth granite precipices stand sentinel above. Tumbling waterfalls accentuate the landscape and give hikers a cool respite.
