The US Forest Service will have its Naturalist led tour on Saturday July 25th, 2009. This month we will explore " The Real Old West of the San Gabriel Mountains." Gabrielinos, Vaqueros, and the Argonauts". We will be discussing, and visiting areas where the early Native Americans inhabited, the life of the Vaqueros, our first cowboys, and the rich and colorful history of past Gold Miners. It has even been rumored that an old miner from the 1860's has been seen in the area, and that he may pay us a visit on Saturday.
This is an excellent outing for families, scout groups,or anyone interested in their local mountains .
The tour will start at 9AM and last until about 1 PM, meet at the San Gabriel Canyon Environmental Education Center, which is located 0.7 miles PAST the East Fork Bridge on Hwy. 39 above the City of Azusa.
Cost is $ 5.00 per person.
Visitors should bring water, lunch, sturdy walking shoes, sun screen, insect repellent, cameras,binoculars and dress in layers for the weather (It way be very hot) . Hiking will not be strenuous but we will be hiking over uneven and rocky terrain. Make sure that your vehicle is in good working order , and you have a full tank of gas.
