to Take-A-Hike LA
WHERE: MONROVIA CANYON FALLS
WHEN: Saturday, 11/2, 10am (start at 1015am)
WHY: Did someone say "WATERFALL"? This week, we will be venturing a little east of Pasadena for this cool, refreshing hike and beautiful waterfall. It looks like the landscape of Lord of the Rings meets Fern Gully. Monrovia Canyon Falls is located in the San Gabriel Mountains, we'll spend most of this hike hugging a creek until we reach a 30 ft waterfall. This is a pretty shorter hike, but definitely one to check out. Definitely one of the coolest waterfall hikes in and around Los Angeles. We will likely add a short extension up to the huge dam, which provides views of the valley and beyond. (HIKE IS DOG FRIENDLY, ON LEASH)
