Voted 10/10 | don't realize how close these mountains are to LA. Or, a lot of people don't realize how close LA is to these mountains. Is there an echo in here? Thanks for sharing! | |

Hasn't voted | You are absolutely correct. The mountains are part of the range that circles the LA basin and an important climate barrier. If you hike in these mountains you will find absolute peacefulness and forget the city immediately. My personal piece of heaven. | |

Hasn't voted | i agree, SoCalHiker. Before moving to Washington State in 2006, I spent over 50 years hiking in the San Gabriels--climbing most all the peaks above 5000 ft. Notable exceptions are Ross, Iron Mtn., Rattlesnake, and Sugarloaf. I am continually amazed that this mountain haven and wilderness is just a few miles north of 20 million people! | |

Hasn't voted | thanks. The geographical proximity to LA and yet the feeling of being far away is quite amazing. Cheers. | |
