East Fork San Gabriel River - Hike and Protect |

| Join us on a summer hike along the E. Fork

the shortage of resources that thousands of visitors experience and you will have the opportunity
to take a small action to help improve the health of the river. 6 miles rt., 700' gain. There will
be stream crossings and boulder-hopping, so you are likely to get wet. Meet 8:30 am at the Azusa
rideshare point. Bring sturdy shoes, sun protection, water and lunch. Leaders: Juana Torres, Rick Farber. |
