Beat the heat - Hike early (7:30AM) ! ! ! Linus is leading this hike!

This is a relatively easy hike with no major inclines, but it is about 8 miles round trip. It is easy to turn around at any point in the hike if you feel it will be too long. The trailhead is at the west end of Altadena Drive behind the guard rail. The beginning of the hike is along a narrow, paved road used by pedestrians, horses, dogs, bicycles and local residents. Eventually it becomes a single track dirt path. There are several stream crossings, but the water level is currently very low. Our destination is about 4 miles up stream to the debris dam. We will find a place to have a short snack break before heading back.
