Just a heads up: The Trump administration has announced a "review" of all national monuments created in the last 20+ years, including the San Gabriel National Monument. Nobody knows for sure what the goal of this "review" is, but if you want to have your say on whether the San Gabriels are worth protecting, the comment period ends at 11:59 PM Eastern on July 10.
