      February snow (Photo – Reg Green)

      Compared to the Sierras and the Rockies, the San Gabriel mountains are very much the ugly sisters: the peaks lacking grace, the vegetation rougher, the colors more drab.

      By Reg Green

      For those of us who love them, they make up for those deficiencies by their ruggedness, solitariness and views to the horizon.

      They are also full of surprises, like this aftermath to the storm, seen today (Sunday, February 26) from a trail off Angeles Crest Highway in La Cañada.


      We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, please consider supporting the Colorado Boulevard’s journalism.

      Billionaires, hedge fund owners and local imposters have a powerful hold on the information that reaches the public. Colorado Boulevard stands to serve the public interest – not profit motives.

      While fairness guides everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against racism and climate crisis while supporting reproductive rights and social justice. We provide a fresh perspective on local politics – one so often missing from so-called ‘local’ journalism.

      You can access Colorado Boulevard’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. People like you, informed readers, keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence, and accessible to everyone.
