I am a Christian who believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been wanting to do a hike that combines hiking, prayer and worship for sometime. Therefore, here it is. What I have in mind is to hike at the beautiful scenic West Fork Road and at the middle of the hike we will share a snack and pray and worship together for about 30 to 45 minutes before we start back. So, whether you are a Christian or not, if you are interested in getting some hiking and at the same time seek God through prayer and worship, join me. This hike is open for anyone; however, I will require that if you join me for this hike that you do participate in the prayer, short bible reading and sharing in fellowship with each other and worshipping our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. If you are interested in just hiking, please join me on the other week where I have scheduled this hike just for hiking.

Carpool: We will meet at 60 hwy and Diamond Park and Ride. (Diamond Bar Park/Ride 100 N Diamond Bar Blvd, Diamond Bar, CA) There are two pake and ride on Diamond Blvd. We will meet on NE lot at 7:30 am and leave 7:35 sharp. Please call, text, or email if you are interested in the carpool so I can arrange it. (626) 372-5265.

Time: We will meet at 8:30 and leave by 8:40 sharp. There is no cellular reception so if you are late, please join some other group and hike with them. Parking is limited.

Contact: Please call Joshua(626) 372-5265 if you have any questions.

Note: Make sure to not to go too far. The parking lot is on you left hand side of the road right after you cross the bridge on Azusa 39. Also you will see a gate and a sign that says Cogswell Dam right before you cross the bridge.

I really liked this hike. It was an easy and very relaxing hike with beautiful scenary and shades.

We will meet at the entrance to Forest Route 2N25. There are two parking lots right next to each other so park your car in the parking lot and meet at the entrance.

Here are some other things to remember:

You will need wilderness/adventure pass to park or you will get a ticket from forestry service. You can purchase it at sporting stores like REI, Sports Chalet and etc. or at forestry service stations.

Make sure to bring some food for yourself and maybe bring some for others to share.

Bring at least 4 to 6 bottles of water.

Make sure to cancel your reservation if you are not able to make it so we are not waiting for you at the parking lot wondering whether you will show up or not.

West Fork of the San Gabriel River

The West Fork of the San Gabriel River is 8 miles above Azusa in the mountains. This trail is a service road that starts from the Highway 39 West Fork bridge and heads 6.5 miles west to a small campground, gaining 450 feet elevation in the process. Just past the campground, the trail rapidly becomes quite steep and eventually reaches the top of the Cogswell Dam.

The West Fork trail starts at a bridge crossing the river. (Altitude 1590 feet)

The crowds and grafitti are largely gone after a mile, now just the occasional fisherman, hiker or bicyclist.
