While the current proposal to add a "San Gabriel Unit" of the Santa Monica Mountains NRA is better than nothing, that isn't saying much. We've lived in the shadow of the beautiful San Gabriel mountains for nearly 17 years, and seen how as budget cuts have left the Angeles NF starved for resources, the amazing resources and recreation areas in the mountains have struggled more and more with litter, vandalism and neglect. This area needs the enhanced educational resources, community outreach and, frankly, better law enforcement, that only a substantial NPS presence could bring to bear.
