The front range of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Bear Canyon as seen from the East Trail on Mt. Lowe in the Angeles National Forest. This was taken about an hour before sunset with a telephoto lens to compress the distance between the ridges. Mt. Lukens -- with the radio towers -- is in the distance. The trail is easy to reach. Take Highway 2 (Angeles Crest Highway) from La Canada-Flintridge and turn right on Mt. Wilson Road. About a mile from the top, look for a small parking area with spaces on both sides of the road. The trail -- a fire road -- begins on the right (south) side of the road and reaches Mueller Tunnel in half-mile. About quarter-mile after the tunnel, look for footpath marked by small sign on the right. Take the footpath which heads toward Mt. Lowe and offers this view in several locations.

Mueller Tunnel on the Eaton Saddle fire road in the Angeles National Forest. The tunnel is on a popular route to the summit of Mt. Lowe.
