Special instructions It'll be warm this weekend, so let's make it an evening hike. The Huntington Library is having a plant sale, so let's hike in the Pasadena area. A trek up to Mt. Lowe is just the thing.
And maybe I'll see you at the plant sale.
********
35th Annual Spring Plant Sale
May 17 (Sunday) 10:30 a.m.–4 p.m.
Thousands of rare and beautiful plants will be offered at The Huntington’s popular annual sale, including many uncommon varieties that are hard to find at commercial nurseries. Look for a wide assortment of roses, camellias, orchids, bromeliads, palms, cacti, trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs, heirloom vegetables, and much more. Admission to the sale is free.

Directions From the 210 freeway, take Lake Ave exit, and drive north (toward the hills) until you hit the end. At the end of Lake Ave. you should see the gate to the park, as well as geeks, to the right. Park where you can. I highly suggest carpooling. |

The Good - Stunning views, pine forests, very deep canyons, some benches to eat on at the top. There is an old cylindrical cistern at the top, perfect for pretending to be a gladiator.
- This trail is dog friendly, but remember to bring a leash.
- Street parking is free but limited. |

Notes Visit the remains of the Mt. Lowe Railway and the once magnificent 70-room Victorian hotel. After a series of fires, nature has slowly been reclaiming this site, but it is still a great place to go poke around in Pasadena history.
