1. Proceed to Alta Loma Drive in Altadena. This is the northernmost major East-West road in Altadena. Alta Loma is north of Altadena Drive. Drive north on either Lincoln Ave. or Lake Ave. in Altadena. If you are on Lake, Alta Loma begins at the extreme north end of Lake.
2. Proceed to Chaney Trail road, which is paved. This has its beginning as a "T" intersection on Alta Loma Drive between Lincoln and Lake, and it goes North from Alta Loma into the hills. Chaney Trail is 0.6 miles east of Lincoln and 0.9 miles west of Lake.
3. LANDMARK FOR CHANEY TRAIL. Look for a flashing yellow traffic light that marks Chaney Trail road. Can't miss it.
4. Proceed north on winding paved Chaney Trail 1.1 miles until you reach the highest point. You will see cars parked immediately beyond the high point. DO NOT PARK THERE, but rather turn left and go downhill until you dead end at the Campground parking area.

2004-06-20 | 3:30 PM | Arroyo Seco River Walk | This Sunday, June 20, at 3:30 join Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR)
on our 67th "Down by the River Walk" along the Arroyo Seco. Track this
tremendous tributary to the Los Angeles River, including an introduction to
North Branch Creek targeted for "daylighting." Meet at Montecito Heights
Rec. Center at the end of Mosher Ave., one block above Avenue 43 and the 110
Freeway. We'll be meeting at the parking lot of Montecito Heights Park,
then walking through the lower Arroyo Seco.
The Arroyo Seco is one of the most prominent tributaries of the Los Angeles River. The Arroyo Seco originates in the San Gabriel Mountains north of Pasadena, flows along what is today the Pasadena Freeway, then joins the LA River just north of downtown Los Angeles. The confluence of the Arroyo Seco and the LA River is an important historic site, where some of the first European explorers encountered "a lush and pleasing spot, in every respect" and decided to site their mission which ultimately grew into the city around us today.
The stretch of the lower Arroyo Seco where we will be walking is one of the
earlier concrete flood prevention projects, so the project has a lot more
personality than later flat paving. The channel lining shows cobblestone
patterns of arroyo stones, and has small sections cut out where wise old
sycamore trees grow. The creek is bordered by many parks, also with tall
sycamores.
The walk is casual, non-strenuous, open to all ages. Dogs welcome on leash.
Canceled if raining.
Directions:
By Bike: From upstream, take the Arroyo Seco Bikeway - our starting place is
its lower terminus.
By Transit: Take the North Figueroa bus, get off at Avenue 43. Walk east 2
blocks on Ave 43. Turn left on Mosher, and walk to the park at the end of
the street.
By Car: Take the Pasadena Freeway, exit Avenue 43. Go left on Ave 43 one
block to Mosher. Turn north on Mosher go to the end of the block.

2004-10-26 | 8:00 PM | Wildfires + Rain = Debris Flows | Wildfires + Rain = Debris Flows - Sue Cannon, USGS Golden
Debris flows can be one of the most hazardous consequences of rain on recently-burned hillslopes. The deaths of sixteen people during the Christmas Day 2003 storm that impacted recently-burned hillsides in southern California highlight the most drastic consequences of post-wildfire debris flows. The increased occurrence of catastrophic wildfires in the western United States, and the encroachment of development into fire-prone areas, has resulted in the need for tools and methods to identify and quantify the potential hazards posed by debris flows from burned watersheds. In this talk we will describe an approach developed to answer some of the questions fundamental to post-fire debris-flow hazard assessments - what, where, why, when, how big, and how often? Come and find out what is being done to understand and decrease the risk of debris flows in your area.
All lectures are free and start at 8pm in Beckman Institute Auditorium on Caltech campus in Pasadena. Plenty of free parking is available.
