The first time I came in here, the lady was really friendly and shared with us some free Pasadena postcards and cards. They were beautiful and cute cartoon pictures of different Pasadena landmarks! I definitely have those hanging on my wall now. The second time I came, the other lady was also super friendly and helped point out the closest metro station and even gave me a map! And, I got more free goodies like a face moisturizer spray and hand lotion sample sizes from Lather (a local store in Pasadena). I would definitely recommend stopping by here to check out all the cool Pasadena maps and postcards.

This is incorrectly listed as Arcadia, CA. It is located in Wrightwood, CA…read more I did the Inspiration Point hike today via AllTrails and it lead me out this way. I believe this is Section D of the PCT. It's still beautiful even though the Bridge Fire from 2024 burned many of the trees to the ground. There is some shade and the mountain views are absolutely breathtaking. The Grassy Hollow Visitor Center doesn't exist anymore. There was no one there. No ranger station or check-in. The campground is closed. It's now just a place to enjoy a peaceful hike and immerse in nature. I saw cyclers on highway 2, some motorcycles, and lots of people driving fast or racing around the mountain curves. I only encountered one other person on the trail. From what I saw the bathrooms are not functional. There's a sign saying that a parking pass is required but again, there's no ranger station to purchase tickets. Even near the Blue Ridge Trail down the road, the ranger station was closed so I'm not sure. I have an interagency pass that I display on my dashboard in lieu of the Adventure Pass. Make sure you have your first aid kit, hydration and just be careful. There's no cell reception in most of this part of the PCT. Nonetheless, it's beautiful. Enjoy!

Pacific Crest Trail review…read more. We were staying at a nearby campground and we were looking for a smaller family-friendly trail to hike. We found a section of the PCT that started at the Inspiration Point parking lot and kinda looped back through the Grassy Hollow campground and back to Inspiration point.. This was a great short hike.. The views were amazing you'll get a taste of what the East Angeles National Forest is all about. - Grassy Hollow is closed because of the pandemic. Unlikely to reopen until 2021. But you can still hike through it. There was a working bathroom there. - Parking at Inspiration Point does require an adventure pass ($5 at most stores in Wrightwood). BUT, if you parked across the street it seemed to be free. - Make this is a lollipop hike. When your hike is starting from Inspiration Point, and you get to grassy hollow campground, go right and continue along the PCT.. walk around until you see a man made road and turn left. This will take you back to Grassy Hollow campground and then back to Inspiration Point.

Where do you go when you get lost in downtown LA? Downtown LA Visitor Information Center!!…read more I like acting like a tourist and pretend to get lost. Not really!! I go here because they sell See's Candies. Sometimes I stop by on Fridays to buy my Friday candy here. They also sells tourist stuff like postcards, magnet, "I love LA" stuff, Hollywood trophies and even bathing suits. You can also pick up coupons and brochures for California restaurants or theme parks here. I picked up a bunch of Caliofrnia and Los Angeles brochures and books. I recently noticed they had computers for tourists too. Not sure if it's a free service. 4 stars!! Downtown Los Angeles Visitor Information Center is fun fun fun!!

Perfect hike for a hot day…read more I love waterfall hikes and listening to the sound of calm, running water. The added challenge on these hikes is the multiple stream crossings. I brought some hiking poles which helped with balance and probing for loose rocks and logs. If you want to get parking in the lower lot, it's best to come before 8AM. We found parking in the second lot. An Adventure Pass or Day Pass is required. Parking is enforced. A car received a ticket for being in a No Parking zone. The start of the trail is nicely shaded. The second half is a hilly, narrow, sun exposed path which routes back into the canyon toward the Lower Switzer Falls. I'm glad they had fencing on some narrow and steep parts of the trail. We encountered an active rattlesnake which headed down the mountain, so be on the lookout. Overall, the hike takes about 3 hours for 5.5 miles. The additional hike back up to the parking lot was about 1/4 of a mile. Note: if you need to use the restroom, it's best to bring your own toilet paper and to go before you start your hike. It was kind of smelly, but if you gotta go... you gotta go.

This place is great for fully appreciating nature! The trail is around 5-5.5 miles round trip,…read moredepending on where you park. What impressed me most about this trail is that it's almost fully covered by shade. We went in the late afternoon, and I'd say probably 80-85% of it is covered. Very impressive! Here are some useful tips: 1. There are three parking lots: two are next to the highway, and one is near the hiking entrance. I'd recommend getting a parking pass if possible. 2. There are only three restrooms at the beginning of the trail, so use them when you see them. 3. If you're aiming to go to the waterfall, make sure to look for the signs. Some signs aren't very clear, so we had to stop and ask other hikers frequently. Luckily, people there are super friendly and happy to help. Just pay attention to your surroundings. 4. The trail is dog-friendly, but dogs must be on a leash. 5. Waterproof hiking boots are recommended. All in all, it's a fun trail. It's a great place for a picnic and camping, and it's very close to the stream. Great for kids, families, and pets!

Baldy for the snow, but this year, we decided to come for fall leaves and hiking. First off, we stopped at the visitor center for the parking pass. ($5 parking fee) The lady, who works there, was so informative and helpful showing us where to go, where has a better view point and all those other good suggestions! She even told us this location once was a school back in 1920s, it was also the first school they had in Mt. Baldy! The staff here def made us feel invited! Excellent service!! Some Tips: They have a actual bathroom in the visitor center. It's clean! Or else, there is a public toilet next to the parking lot, close to the entrance of hiking trials. (You can't wash your hands there) There is no WiFi in the mountains, so get yourself prepared for the route first! (Ask a map from them, screen shot your hiking routes!)

We'd spend hours there...when we weren't at the beach. At night we would spend our time at the UA Marina theater, West World and Perry's Pizza. Seems like a lifetime ago. It was a terrific place to grow up, I'm grateful for the memories. These days you have much of the same, only more of it. Loads of restaurants, grocery stores, nifty shopping and lots and lots of traffic. People too, but that's not a surprise. And traffic lights, quite a few of them. When driving through I had to really pay attention because what was once an intersection with only a stop sign, now there's a signal slowing traffic down.
