Glendora Ridge Road

This is Shoemaker Canyon Road looking down at East Fork Road. The river is the East Fork of the San Gabriel River. This web page talks about a hike at the end of Shoemaker Canyon Road. It also states that this road to nowhere was built as a way to escape Los Angeles in case of nuclear attack. We are going to have to hike it one of these days.
