Hey, that is a really funny picture. I heard you have a time machine... it’s the Getty 2038?
Seriously though, I want to go there.
Someone please answer this and win!

Wow, you have the best photos!! And it seems we have a lot of people among us who know our area. I am not one of them LOL

That hotel sounds fantastic!! I do think we need to organize SoCal Sunday hikes and to some of the locations you keep showing us!!

It is in the San Gabriel Mountains. From Altadena CA, take Lake Ave north till it ends. Then find street parking. Then walk east to the Sam Merrill trailhead. Take that to Echo Point. It is about a 2 hour hike. Love that place. The ruins at the top are called "White City."
