SANTA ANITA HIKING ADVENTURE
Sunday, Edward, Louie, Celeste and I went on a hiking adventure. We went up to the San Gabriel Mountains and hiked to Sturtevant Falls. This was about a 1-1/2 mile (one-way) hike. Then while we were at the waterfall, Louie had a great idea and decided to climb a hill of rocks to shortcut to the trail above us. Edward and I watched as Louie and Celeste conquered the wall of rocks. Then we ran back down the trail and followed the proper trail to the top of the waterfall to meet up with Louie and Celeste. It added about another mile to our trip but it was fun. They got to rock climb a bit and we got to run. Then we met up on top of a boulder and had snacks before heading out. We tried to follow the trail up to the campsite, after spotting a hiker with a day pack, but in the end it was a long trip and we had not eaten yet, so we turned back and headed out. That is by far the worst part of the hike, the way out. There is a 0.6 mile long paved road you have to hike back up and trust me it was rough. I was huffing and puffing the whole way. We made it out alive after a hike around 5-8 miles long. The only thing left to do was go to Applebees and have lunch. It was a great day among friends and an added memory.
