サンガブリエル山地の峡谷・トップ9

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.

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".
