Navitat Canopy Tour of Wrightwood, CA: A Bird's-Eye Review
Canopy tours make most people think of remote jungle destinations like Puerto Rico or Costa Rica, but believe it or not, Los Angeles has one right in its backyard. Wrightwood, CA is about a 90-minute drive from Los Angeles and is one of the premier resort towns for California skiers and snowboarders. Now, thanks to Navitat Canopy Adventures, it's also a great summer destination.
In this video feature, get a first-person view of the highlights from a half-day trip: ten zip lines, three short hikes, four sky bridges, and three rappels.

Los Angeles Driving Tour: Azusa Mountains. Road to Bridge to Nowhere Hiking Trailhead
Los Angeles Driving Tour: Azusa Mountains
111 Places in Los Angeles That You Must Not Miss:
Bridge to Nowhere
Location in California
The Bridge to Nowhere is an arch bridge that was built in 1936 north of Azusa, California in the San Gabriel Mountains. It spans the East Fork of the San Gabriel River and was meant to be part of a road connecting the San Gabriel Valley with Wrightwood.
History
The East Fork Road was still under construction when it was washed out during the great flood of March 1–2, 1938.
The East Fork Road project was abandoned as a result of the floods, leaving the bridge forever stranded in the middle of what is now the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.
Parts of the old asphalt roadway can still be found along the East Fork Trail which leads to the bridge, and there are still a number of concrete slabs which formed the foundations of destroyed bridges to the west of the Bridge to Nowhere. Indeed, the sign along the trail 30 feet east of the John Seals Bridge which announces the start of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness is resting on the old roadbed.
East Fork Trail
Currently there is a major rock fall at approximately 1.56 miles in along the trail at North 34 degrees 15.440, West 117 degrees 45.053, at 2271 feet altitude which poses a significant safety hazard to climb over. Additionally there is a cornice overhang remaining that is poised to come down and there is more friable San Gabriel granite to the right of the calving which is poised to come down. The United States Forest Service is looking at the problem with the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders to determine what can be done about the hazard. As it is, safe passage through 50 meters of trail covered by the rock fall requires the crossing of the river two additional times.
The bridge is only accessible via a 10-mile round-trip hike or on horseback. Despite its popularity, the frequency with which the trails get washed out means that they are rough in places. The trail following the riverbed crosses the East Fork six times between the bridge and the trailhead.
Generally, one follows the river up its course, with several stream crossings before the ascent to the level of the bridge.
The maintenance of the East Fork Trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere is the responsibility of the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders volunteer organization which works under the supervision of the United States Forest Service. Typically trail repairs and maintenance are performed by the Trailbuilders during the Winter months when snow within the Crystal Lake Recreation Area makes trail working at higher elevations in the San Gabriel Mountains difficult and at times hazardous.
In addition to steps being carved out of rock faces to improve hiking safety, trail definition being improved through removing growth and rocks along the trail, and other typical trail work, the Trailbuilders also built the John Seals Bridge across Laurel Gulch, utilizing helicopters, horses, mules, and many human volunteers to establish concrete footings and assemble a solid wooden crossing to ensure safe passage across the Gulch.
Obstructions along the trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere and other significant trail problems can be reported to the Trailbuilders.
Bungee jumping
The bridge is a private inholding within the Angeles National Forest. Bungee jumping is provided by a private company.[6] Jumpers typically meet at the main parking area for Heaton Flats Campground early in the morning, collecting at the Forest Service gate and then walking to the East Fork Trail trailhead where jumpers begin the hike generally as a group. After individuals jump from the bridge, people hike back either alone or in pairs or in groups, some times doing so after dark.
Safety issues
There have been a large number of fatalities along the East Fork of the San Gabriel River due in part to the swift water of the San Gabriel River which can rise significantly and without warning when heavy rainfall to the Northeast of the region introduces flash flood waters to the river. Crossing the river to and from the Bridge to Nowhere can be dangerous and even individuals crossing in groups have experienced fatalities.

Hike The Big Horn Mine Trail & Explore An Abandoned Mine
The area surrounding Big Horn Mine was home to mountaineer Charles Vincent Dougherty, an American Civil War veteran who fled Arizona after murdering three men who were plotting to jump his claim. Charles lived a life of seclusion in the San Gabriel Mountains and started going by “Vincent” to keep a low profile. He discovered the Big Horn Mine in the late 1800s and it was named after the sheep he was hunting in the area. After a tragic bear attack, Charles Vincent Dougherty succumbed to his injuries in a Los Angeles Hospital, but not before confessing his murderous past to his doctor.
Today, the Big Horn Mountain Trail is a beautiful 3.9-mile easy to moderate hike in the Angeles National Forest. It starts near the trailhead to Mt. Baden Powell and the trail offers stunning vistas of Mt. Baldy along the way. The payoff is the now abandoned Big Horn Mine at the end of the trail. If you're feeling adventurous, you may dare to enter the mine shaft and explore the vast expanse of abandoned mine tunnels.
Here's how to get there:
**WARNING** If you plan on exploring the mine tunnels, use caution and common sense. Abandoned mines are extremely dangerous and the hazards of tunnel collapse, arsenic exposure, and getting lost are a very real possibility. Proceed at your own risk.

Giant Sequoia National Monument - Trail of 100 Giants
SUBSCRIBE!
California Travel Expert Veronica Hill offers a guide to Giant Sequoia National Monument in this episode of California Travel Tips.
Located roughly 1 hour from Kernville in Sequoia National Park, on the steep and twisting Western Divide Highway, the Trail of 100 Giants was established by President Bill Clinton on April 15, 2000.
Giant sequoias are the largest trees on Earth, growing up to 311 feet tall and 56 feet wide. Some of the oldest trees date back approximately 4,000 years!
The roots of these trees are only 6 feet deep! Because of this, they are easily blown over during high winds.
The 1/2-mile paved trail is wheelchair accessible and takes roughly 1 hour to complete. Start your tour at Clinton's Proclamation Tree, then wind your way through Long Meadow Grove, which is home to 268 giant sequoias.
There are 13 stops along the trail, where you'll see a meadow of skunk cabbage, several running streams, and an abundance of bright green wolf lichen growing on the trees.
