多多We decided to hike in Rooney Canyon, so headed to N Fuller Street it was Tuesday, so parking on one side of the street was prohibited because the street was being cleaned, but after a short wait, we were lucky to park on the other side. We started Route E, got through the inspiration point then reached the top and finally got back to Fire F. The view was spectacular and needed a lot of climbing. We both drank 3 litres of water (and a poor thirsty dog, haha), so bring more water.

coo***anViews: Eaton Canyon is suitable for families and pets. The canyon hiking trail is located at the bottom of the San Gabriel Mountains, a three-mile hiking loop just a short distance from the northern Pasadena region. [Fun] This path is more relaxed, and well-behaved dogs can hike with their owners without having to pull the rope. This beautiful trail is also suitable for a quick short hike for a day, and the waterfall and wading pool are also worth a visit.

137***66It's amazing hike for beginners as well as experienced ones. Easy for young and old.Yesterday we went the whole family and we drop some in the beginning and the rest we wanted to do only a mile up and a mile down to the waterfall, so we parked in the upper parking. Parking at the week end is $10 per car and during the week it's only $5 per car. We took photos and when we put them on our social media, our friends thought it's in Hawaii hahahahahah.Great experience and the weather was just perfect. Loved it and for sure I will be back.One more thing, take a good book and enjoy it there.

TodemmyA great stop for pictures at any given time. Just remember that it may get chilly and by experience, icy cold.It is a romantic place if you wish to bring your partner and it is also a great place for a family picnic or just to hang around with friends.We spent some days in the area at one morning, right in the middle of July, was very cold so be advised that the weather may change at any time. I would recommend sunblock and a heavy blanket and jacket.Don't forget the camera to freeze those special moments in time.

M32***23Coldwater Canyon Park is a fun choice, with different levels of difficulty. The Marsh Trail is an easy, but interesting, boardwalk. We've seen several beautiful birds here, including the Western Bluebird. The Desert Willow Trail offers a variety of levels and more habitats. The Yucca Ridge Trail has more climbing and nice views. And there are more trails to try.

137***66Interestingly worth $5 to get in and see. Canyon Park has my vote and expects 80 acres of waterfalls. Monrovia Canyon Park is a small, 80 acres park just off the border of the Los Angeles National Forest at the foot of Mount San Gabriel. Check the 147-foot-tall Sawpit dam, built in 1927 (flood control dam), but engineers found the foundation under the dam was too weak to hold the water of its design. The reservoir behind it was never fully loaded because it would not withstand earthquakes. As a result, DPW - the Department of Public Works - cut it into a free-flowing waterfall. Worth a visit, the view of the hiking trail is great.

TodemmyI didn't particularly care much for this hike.It is hot. There is no shade. It is not great scenery or fauna. Desert like. Not my best hike ever, but it is close to my house, and not particularly crowded, so I will probably give it another chance at some point
