The Lawn Chair on top of the trail (Photo – Chuck Hughes)
Some person, who clearly thinks of others more than himself, has bought and then carried a beach chair more than a mile and up several hundred feet on the hills above La Crescenta so hikers can rest and take in the extensive view.

The view stretches from Pasadena and beyond in the east to the Ventura County mountains in the west.
How do I know he is such a noble character? Because it’s me. (With the aid of a kindly fellow hiker who just wanted to help.)
I’m not really being unselfish: I hike up here most days and it’s great to have an excuse to sit down and think, “I’ve come far enough. This is a great place to turn around and walk down again.
You did good Reg. I liked your initial gesture of putting the chair there or others to enjoy and feel bad that you felt compelled to take it down the hill.
