- Angeles National Forest.
"The Angeles National Forest is located within an hour's drive for more

- Hikes in the San Gabriel
Mountains and the Angeles National Forest.
- Rose Bowl (America's
Stadium). "Built in 1922 and known mainly for the New Year's
Tournament of Roses Football Game, the Rose Bowl Stadium has also earned
it's World-Class Reputation by hosting five NFL Super Bowl Games, the 1984
Olympic Soccer Matches, the 1994 Men's World Cup, the 1999 Women's World
Cup, the 2002 BCS National College Football Championship Game and numerous
other memorable events over the past eighty plus years.
- Gamble House. "The
Gamble House in Pasadena, California, is an outstanding example of
American Arts and Crafts style architecture. The house and furnishings
were designed by Charles and Henry Greene in 1908 for David and Mary
Gamble of the Procter and Gamble Company. The house, a National Historic
Landmark, is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University
of Southern California and is open for public tours." Comment:
The Gamble house is on my top ten places to see in the Los Angeles area if
you are interested in architecture and design. Visiting the Gamble
house is experientially similar to visiting Frank Lloyd Wright's
Falling Water House. Once
you have seen the Gamble House or the Falling Water House you will wonder
why so many contemporary homes are so poorly designed.

- Tournament of Roses.
"Each New Year's Day, the world focuses its attention on Pasadena,
California, U.S.A., home of the Rose Parade® and Rose Bowl Game®. It's a
celebration more than a century old--a festival of flowers, music and
sports unequaled anywhere in the world. The Tournament is more than just a
parade and football game. It's America's New Year Celebration, a greeting
to the world on the first day of the year, and a salute to the community
spirit and love of pageantry that have thrived in Pasadena for more than a
century."
