Flowing unassumingly past Pasadena's Rose Bowl is a creek
that, if you follow it back up into the mountains from
which it flows, eventually becomes a sylvan retreat.
Walking up the trail beside this creek is mere minutes
away from the city below, but feels much further removed.
You can go as far as you want up into the Angeles
National Forest, or just linger a short way up the
canyon. Either way, it's a relaxing walk. Here are images
