Trees here have front-row seats to the best views of the San Gabriel Mountains, and overlook the valley below. Open spaces along the hilly slopes in this area are perfect for picnicking and enjoying the afternoon sun. In spring, blooming mountain lupins and wildflowers bring the forest floor to life in vibrant colors. At sunset, a serene golden hue is cast across the mountainside. On clear days, you can see the skyline of Downtown Los Angeles, the Pacific Ocean and even Catalina Island.
