The following is an extract from the Angeles Map Pack :-

Map 1 covers the Arroyo Seco Front Country including Echo Mountain and Mt. Lowe. Nearly a century ago this was Southern California’s most popular tourist destination and the area is littered with the historical remnants from this time. High in the mountains and canyons can be found remains of luxury hotels, railways and tramways.

Map 2 is around Strawberry Peak and covers the Arroyo Seco Back Country including Red Box and Switzers.

Map 3 to the northeast describes a 3 peaks loop for mountain biking and hiking around the recreation areas of Charlton, Horse Flats and Chilao.

Map 4 covers The Santa Anita Canyon to the east of Mt. Wilson. The 3 routes all start at Chantry Flat where the Pack Station offers refreshments and parking facilities.
