Beautiful alpine flowers, tumbling waterfalls and serene lakes await you. In the evenings, you can watch the sunset wash the peaks with Alpenglow and see more stars than you remember exist. |

Did you know that there are fresh water streams and waterfalls less than an hour from Orange County/Long Beach? Come with us on the Mount Zion Loop. This trail starts with a steep descent to the bottom of Santa Anita Canyon, and then an easy walk up the canyon. An optional one mile side trip will take us to the bottom of Sturtevant Falls. We need to meet at the trail head at 8 AM, because the parking is limited. You need an Adventure Pass or a National Parks Pass in order to park in the state lot. Paid parking is available at the Pack Station. |
