サンガブリエル山地周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Built in 1912 this historic bridge plays an important part in the growth of the city. For a short time in the 1930's and 40s it was part of the iconic "Route 66" that stretched from Santa Monica to Chicago. Aside from a short closure and refurbishment after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the bridge has been in operation for well over a century.

Duarte Bike Trail is a multi-purpose trail that was founded in 1977. It stretches 1.6 miles from Buena Vista Avenue to Royal Oaks Park at Vineyard Avenue. There are both a paved cycling path and a dirt jogging and equestrian trail. The path runs under shady oak trees with gentle slopes, and the trail follows the historic Pacific Electric Railway route, where you can spot an arched bridge that once carried Red Trolley Cars to Los Angeles. Great for biking, jogging, dog walking, or leisurely strolls, the trail includes amenities like parking, restrooms at Royal Oaks Park, drinking fountains, and a bike repair station at Vineyard Avenue. It’s open daily from dawn to dusk.

The Marshall Canyon Trail is in La Verne, CA, starts at Oak Mesa Park and features 1,310 feet of climbing, reaching a max elevation of 2,424 feet. Known for its oak tree cover and lush terrain, it’s often referred to as "Sherwood Forest" due to its green, shady environment. The lower section is relatively flat, with more climbing occurring deeper into the canyon. For mountain bikers, there are many variations off the main trail that can add both milage and elevation to your ride. Adding the Claremont Loop, for example, can extend the ride by 4-5 miles and 800 vertical feet. The trail and surrounding area provides a refreshing NorCal feel, with shaded trails and a creek, contrasting with the typically hot and dry surrounding hills.

Mount San Antonio, also known as Old Baldy or Mount Baldy, is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains at 10,069 feet (3,069 m) and the highest point in Los Angeles County, California. The sometimes snow-capped summit of Mount San Antonio is also visible in Los Angeles on clear days and is a dominant sight from the city.

If you come down from Pincrest Dr, cross the bridge and keep right walking a loop to get under the bridge. From here follow the creek by crossing the stream over rocks and trunks around 10 times before you reach the small lake with the waterfall. Have great fun by taking a "shower".

Mt. Baldy is the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains and gets its nickname from the absence of trees near its summit. It is a grind to get here on your bike but you will be rewarded with gorgeous views of the surrounding mountain tops. A very popular and special place.

This marks the end of the San Gabriel River Bike Path but you now have the option to extend your ride if you want to. You can either simply head back to town or carry on up the San Gabriel Canyon Road to make this a classic day ride.
