The rugged San Gabriel Mountains, rising starkly from the edge of the Los Angeles Basin, provide a sharp contrast the hustle and bustle of the city and its surroundings. Angelinos across the county (a population of almost 10 million), as well as visitors from out of state, welcome the opportunity to escape from city chaos into the quiet wilderness.
This 8th edition of the classic Wilderness Press guide has been revised and updated to reflect recent trail changes due to fires and floods, and now includes trips in the Fish Canyon Narrows, along Alder Creek, and to Jones Peak, as well as perennial favorites such as Old Baldy, Mt. Wilson, and Devils Punchbowl. Each detailed trip description notes the distance, difficulty, and ideal season, and points out the highlights of the trail.
Author John Robinson has been hiking the San Gabriels for over 30 years and is considered to be the foremost expert on the trails of these mountains.

Trails of the Angeles
Having spent the last 10 years exploring the mountains above los Angeles I found the historical context of the trails and outposts described in this book a delight. It makes you feel proud of the natural resources and a responsibility to care for the limited wilderness areas that are left. The trail system has steadily recovered from the station fire and the book makes not of this. The 2013 version which I read is still surprisingly accurate even though, as the book states, 3 years of unchecked growth can take a well-maintained trail to impassable. An update by 2023 will most certainly be necessary. But the book gives you the info necessary to explore and begin researching possible routes that exist. I think the real value of the book is understanding the heritage of the current trail system and how access to the wilderness areas has changed the way we experience these alpine haunts.
