If you're ever in town, or live in the Dena, I highly recommend taking a break and stopping by Eaton Canyon on Altadena Dr. The Eaton Canyon Falls trail is a little under 4 miles roundtrip. The trail leading to the waterfall is gorgeous. You'll be crossing streams and hopping over stones along the way. You'll be entering the Angeles National Forest where the sights will make you want to stop and stare. Bring a camera! I'm conquering every mountain in LA, one step at a time. This hidden gem is by far one of my favorite hikes.
I ventured to Eaton Canyon on Super Bowl XLVIII Sunday. I suspect the park wasn't as busy considering it was the Super Bowl. However, it was patrolled and there were more people out then I expected. The Eaton Canyon Falls trail is family & dog friendly. If you ever feel lost, there's plenty of foot traffic to stop and ask for directions. I parked at the Eaton Canyon nature Center and followed the trail until the road split. Go left and enjoy!
There were plenty of families and dog walkers on this trail. Feel free to bring your family, friends, pets and loved ones. Keep in mind that if you're child is under 4 years of age, they may need assistance crossing the stream and stepping over stones.
You can reach Eaton Canyon Park and the Eaton Canyon Nature Center by taking the 134 E towards Pasadena. Merge onto the I-210 E. Take exit 28 toward Sierra Madre Bl, Altadena Dr. Turn left onto N Altadena Dr toward Eaton Canyon Natural Area. The park will be on your right hand side.
