Sullivan Ridge
in the Santa Monica Mountains

Los Angeles | Trails 6 Comments » | Trail Rating: ForgetableAverageGoodGreat Loading ... Loading ...
Sullivan Ridge Hike - Sullivan Ridge rises between Rustic Canyon and Sullivan Canyon east of Will Rogers State Park in a region of the Santa Monica Mountains aptly named the Big Wild. A 6.3-mile long fire road runs along the ridge, accompanied by a single-track trail that diverges from the road to explore more of Sullivan Ridge. A prominent lone-standing Live Oak along the road makes a natural turnaround point and a 7.5 to 8.3 mile round trip hike (depending on your course).

Fish Canyon Falls
in the San Gabriel Mountains

Los Angeles | Trails 3 Comments » | Trail Rating: ForgetableAverageGoodGreat Loading ... Loading ...
Fish Canyon Falls San Gabriel Mountains Angeles National Forest Hike - Fish Canyon Falls is an eighty-foot tall three-tiered beauty in the San Gabriel Mountains near Azusa. Spring is the perfect time to visit the dynamic waterfall, but access is limited because there is a rock quarry blocking the trailhead. The creation of the quarry resulted in decades of disputed access to what was once one of the most popular destinations to the range. The quarry chewed up the first mile of the trail, reducing the trek to Fish Canyon Falls to four miles roundtrip. Even in it's abbreviated form, this still deserves to be one of the highest regarded hikes in the San Gabriel Mountains.
