Getting a little off schedule and going this UPCOMING Saturday January 26 at 8:30 am.
Sturtevant Falls in the San Gabriel Mountains -
Easy - 3.7 miles, 1-3 Hours
Streams look a little harder to cross in comparison to Eaton Canyon, so you might want to bring water shoes or a stick.
The trail from Chantry Flats to Sturtevant Falls has been a popular hike for those wanting to escape the urban sprawl of Los Angeles since the early 1900's. This is an easy hike and perfect for anyone new to hiking but be aware that the last 0.6 mile return to the parking lot is all uphill.There are several stream crossings before arriving at the Falls, so trekking poles or an extra pair of socks are recommended.
