MT. Lowell Rail Loop Trail Hike

Here is another hike post. Travis and I hiked 11.6 miles in the San Gabriel Mountains on the Mt. Lowell Rail Loop. It took us nearly 7 hours.





Guess what inspires us? Let's just say it's not the view of Los Angeles sprawled out 2,000 feet below us.

Travis is calling my friends in Redondo Beach.

We took another trail back down. We traversed through lush forests, deep canyons, trickling creeks all with a breath taking view of LA far below

There were many surreal moments where extreme nature and city life meshed together, such as this shot. Notice the craggy cliff walls, and towering pine trees in the foreground and a bustling city going about its business in the background.

It was strange to imagine that we hiked down from that canyon.

A view from what once was the Lowell Resort. A train traversed the slippery slopes of the San Gabriel mountain side to what was once a very popular resort in the turn of the 19th century.
