Our Backyard: Angeles Forest

Angeles Crest Hiking



We live very close to Los Angeles, and this summer has been relentless with its heat. So off we went to search for water. We headed up the 2 to a picnic area in the Angeles Crest called Switzer. Lots of people crowd this place, especially on weekends. Most head down the relatively easy 2 mile trail to the Switzer falls and jump in. Well, luckily we know of a less crowded spot a little off trail, in the opposite direction. So while the crowds pour down the trail and turn left to the falls, we turn right, and through some slightly overgrown bush to this nice little pond:




We hope to come back here often when its blazing hot. After a few miles of hiking in the sun, it sure does feel good to get to a small cliff and jump in. This pond was well over 10 ft deep. 

We even made a friend.
