Has user description  The San Gabriel mountain range is a region in Southern California that forms the northern boundary of the Los Angeles basin and provides a number of canyoneering opportunities to the many residents of Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

Character

Most Los Angeles canyons are predominantly granite. The rock can be sharp and crumbly at times, but is often more solid at waterfall pour-overs. Canyons walls can be steep, but are rarely sheer. Most canyons have many trees that may be used as anchors. Many canyons have some water, but few if any present true class C challenges during most of the year.

Closure

Parts of the Angeles National Forest in the San Gabriel Mountains remain closed following the 2009 Station Fire.
