Route Description for Gabrielino Trail
If you find yourself in Altadena, California and want to set out on a relaxing adventure through an easily-accessible portion of the Angeles National Forest, then look no further than the Gabrielino Trail.
This lengthy and laidback trail will allow you to leave the city behind, as you traverse paved and natural pathways through a series of beautiful canyons alongside Arroyo Seco. There are a few stream crossings that can be tricky when water levels are high, but other than that this is a pretty straightforward adventure.
Eventually, you will pass by the Gould Mesa Camp and arrive at the Paul Little Picnic Area, which marks the endpoint of the route. After pausing for a relaxing outdoor lunch, simply follow the same route back to the trailhead where you began.
