Tunnels to Nowhere

What could be more fun then hiking, enjoying nature, and getting a glimpse of history at the same time? These tunnels were constructed during the Cold  War era, and were created for the purpose of a faster escape route for Los Angeles residents in the case of an emergency. However, as time went along the projects were never completed, and hence, the tunnels lead to nowhere in particular. Two unique tunnels, an easy 5 mile hike, and scenic mountain tops paired with rolling byways - definitely a memorable hike!

San Antonio Falls / Canyon

Been quite busy lately so haven't been able to update this adventure journal as much as I would like.

Here's a few snapshots of a place we went to last year, but decided to give it a second chance with even sunnier weather. This time around was a much better view and time of day. With the sunlight shining through and a slight fog layer slowly rolling through, who couldn't ask for a better picture taking moment?

 

West Fork San Gabriel River Trail

We have attempted this trail earlier this year, but we decided to give it another try since the weather had recently toned down a bit. The entire trail itself is 16 miles round trip (if you want to make it all the way to Cogswell Dam), but since we kept on getting sidetracked with a little  fishing and exploring here and there, we were only able to do about 8.5 miles of the trail this time. However, we were able to see so many interesting critters and sights along the way, even more than the last time we visited this area. We'll have to venture here again, and hopefully the next time we will actually complete the whole trip!
