Here are some more pictures from when Sarah and I hiked up the Sam Merrill Trail on Mt. Lowe in Alta Dena. I want to go mountain biking here again. It offers breathtaking scenic views of Pasadena and beyond. The trails are pretty windy and narrow. There are a lot of extremely tight hairpin switchbacks. One wrong move could spell your doom. There are a lot of hikers for the first mile or so. As you get higher, up around 9 miles, it's deserted. There are some ghost resort cabins up there. It's spooky, because nobody's there. I guess that's why they failed. Nobody goes up there.
