I've run across a single mention of a waterfall in Davis Canyon in the area of Kinneloa Mesa area of Altadena. Any info on this canyon/falls...is it also known as Hasting's or Pasadena Glen Cyns.?

A random pdf I found.

The waterfall in the blog is Pasadena Glen Falls....its one of those places that is anti-visitor and you have to trespass on the water district's property for a few minutes.

Thanks sir. I figured it was Pasadena Glen but wasn't sure. How far up canyon from the bottom is it?

Brennan lists it as 50 yards....its a very quick hike regardless, no more than 5 minutes. I parked at the very end of the private road, where there were no signs saying not to park there. Parking anywhere else drives up the hiking time quite a bit.

Check out this one where the group brought in a ladder(goes to show you how close it is that someone would be carrying a ladder).

Just do the whole canyon from the top! It's wonderful! It's so great, no canyoneers like to even talk about it.

I'LL BITE! IT SOUNDS EXCITING AND PROBABLY SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DESCRIBED AS "FUN", WHATEVER THE HELL THAT IS!

the legal description has it within SW¼SE¼ Section 6 Township 1 North Range 11 West

This explains to me the purpose of the Old Road Grade from Henninger Flats

The black box is the approximate boundary

Good point Matt. I've always wondered "where" that road went or was meant to go.
