It's hard to believe that today is New Year Eve...

Angeles Crest Fall 2009

The Angeles National Forest has been closed since the August 26th Station Fire, which burned over 166,000 acres. That's over 250 square miles.

It's hard to imagine just how big an area that really is - The area from above La Canada Flintridge all the way over to Chilao Flats was mostly burned.

Some of these are our favorite hiking areas...
