Santa Clara/Mojave Rivers Ranger District (Mojave Portion)
Dense forests of firs, cedars, and pines create a richly woven tapestry which delicately drapes the rough, jagged ridges of the San Gabriels. Leaping waterfalls, sheer canyons, and playful streams abound on the south side of the range while the north facing slope is more sparse, arid, and shrublike. Dizzying vistas accompany almost every hike, and open forest understories provide freedom of motion along trails.
