- Hiking in Azusa
Canyon. Rugged Mountains and foothills form a spectacular
backdrop to a community where people have lived for more than 6,000 years.
From the snow covered peak of Mt. San Antonio towering over 10,000 feet,
the San Gabriel river drains a watershed of more than 600 square miles.
The undeveloped areas of river flood plain create corridors of wetlands
for wildlife, fish, including steelhead trout. Tributary streams are lined
with willow, cottonwood, sycamore and alders. Higher up are mountain
forests, home to bobcats, mountain lions and bears.
This not only provides a diverse and spectacular back drop to the city,
but a destination for recreation, mountain biking, hiking and fishing."
