I’ve always been one to prefer the city over the open range. But everyone once in awhile, its nice to get out of the polluted epic center of America and breath in some fresh air. Granted I live by the ocean and I get plenty of the sea water smell, but its refreshing to take a short 1.5 – 2 hour drive north-east toward the San Gabriel Mountains just for a change of scenery. Recently, I was turned to this place by someone dear to me and I must say, it definitely has made it onto the list of hidden gems. Horse Flats offers a little bit for everyone. From the most experienced to the very beginners – like myself. With easy hikes, accessible camp sites and rocks to boulder on, you’ve got nothing to loose. Did I mention there’s also a far share of wildlife?
