The southern slope of these marvelous peaks contain many beauteous waterfalls. The astute will recognize Eaton Canyon and Millard Canyon.
Rubio Canyon is often a scene of mishap, as foolhardy youths venture off trail.
Others prefer mules and horses to transport themselves up the Arroyo Seco, and Dark Canyon.
From thence one travels the Angeles Crest Highway, careful to navigate around treacherous rockfall.
Many hours later, near the old Colby Camp, you spy "Red Box" in the distance, a safe place to store firefighting equipment.
Nearby is Opid's Camp, a pleasant place to stop for a meal.
One must be careful to avoid the wild animals!
Here one glimpses the peaks of the High Country. Waterman, Islip, Twin Peaks, and perhaps Triplet Rocks.
One may camp and explore the rocky traverses at Chilao.
Ah, now we are in the pines!
Mining is a popular pastime. The Big Horn Mine overlooks the San Gabriel River, Pine Mountain, and a canyon known as "Fish Fork Inaday."
Mount Baldy of course is a delightful place for the serious mountaineer.
Up, up, up the road we go!
Ah, fresh (apparently chilly) mountain air at the Islip tunnels!
Far below us is Crystal Lake, and The Mighty San Gabriel River.
