San Gabriel River in Angeles National Forest, California
If any town in America needs a national forest on its fringes, it is Los Angeles. The San Gabriel Mountains of the Angeles National Forest rise up and out of the LA basin, creating a sanctuary for seekers of solitude and outdoor adventure. No doubt Southern California conjures beaches and bikinis, not rugged mountain hiking, but we're telling you, it's here. Steep rocky ridges with steep drop-offs like Devil's Backbone ought to put the fear of the devil in you. And check out these elevations: Pine Mountain (9,648 feet), Dawson Peak, (9,575 feet) and San Antonio, also-know-as Mt. Baldy, (10,064 feet). Don't get us wrong, there's easy hiking here as well. We just want you to know that you can test your mettle too. Read More »
