| Superior Court Judge Clair S. Tappaan at the 1913 dedication of the Muir Lodge. The judge poses with a large portion of the Southern California Chapter, with whom he planted the little sequoia tree in the center foreground. The sequoia grew prodigiously, as did the Southern California Chapter, which grew up to be known as the Angeles Chapter. |
Remembering Luis 'Jerry' de la Peza

Born in San Antonio Texas, Jerry de la Peza moved to California as a child with his family. From 1953 to 1956, he was Cpl. de la Peza, in the 35th Infantry Regiment during the Korean War. Following his service in the U.S. Army, he settled in Montebello, his home of 49 years.
In the Aftermath of the Station Fire, Angeles Forest Trails Need Your Help Healing
If you've ever taken a hike in the San Gabriel Mountains, chances are it's been on a trail, and if you're like most of us you've taken that simple pathway for granted. On your next hike, though, think about how it would be to go from your starting point to your destination and back without that trail.
Yes, trails are definitely important in easing our access to favored locations in the wilderness; but they also provide protection to our wilderness resources by channeling traffic into narrow corridors and thereby decreasing human impact on surrounding areas.
