2 reviews for Lower Arroyo Seco
I probably shouldn't have gone hiking after only 4.5 hours of sleep and suffering from a slight hangover. But who could resist getting lost in the woods with a hot Colombian on a fine Sunday morning? This is a rhetorical question, coming from an unpaid whore.
A mere 5 minute drive north of the Arroyo exit from the 210 Fwy, a paved path through the serene canyons of Altadena awaits. Sure, you have to walk a quarter mile to pass the ugly JPL compound, but the sound of trickling streams and you know, nature-stuff, should help to soothe those jittery city-nerves. There are several trails to choose from, and the easier ones are often abound with various dogs and compensating owners. The more difficult ones often seem to be taken by mountain bikers and adventurers.
Yes, yes, everything is pretty. But man-oh-man, people here are actually NICE. I've never heard so many friendly hellos, good mornings, or passersby who actually smile while LOOKING YOU IN THE EYE. In Los Angeles, this is quite the experience. Then again, maybe they were just staring at my Wonder Woman costume. Oops, did I give away my secret?
Whatever, just go there! Take for a walk, look at dirt, dig a hole, kick some dogs, or give a hand job off a beaten path. I don't really care, but nature can be cool...sometimes.

Right next to JPL this is my default hike if I don't wanna drive too far. 10 miles round trip to Oakwilde camp. It connects all the way up to Switzer falls and you can do a one way shuttle hike from there if you have friends. Not the place you wanna go if your looking for solitude. You lose most of the yahoos two miles in.
