Photos of hiking Sturtevant falls, Angeles National Forest
A month back we did a new (to us) hike to Sturtevant falls in Angeles National Forest. The trail head is at Chantry Flat, off Santa Anita Avenue in Arcadia. From there it drops down into the darkest and most lush SoCal valley I’ve been to. Black oaks tower overhead as you walk past tens of cabins along the dammed creek. The falls were nice, even at their dry point during the year. I can imagine that the upper pools would be quite large in the spring. We did the total hike in about an hour and a half, the only crappy part is the climb back up to Chantry Flat. Well worth the time if you are in the area.
