This past Saturday, June 24, 2006, I went mountain biking on the El Prieto trail in Pasadena, California. This trail starts off near JPL like all the other Gabrielino trails. There's a lots of fireroad climbing up Brown Mountain. It's hard to find the El Prieto trail, but once you do it's a pretty nice singletrack. It's an advanced course, so watch out! Be wary of poison oak and cactus plants that are along the narrow paths. It's nice and shaded along El Prieto, but I thought the trail was way too short. I didn't charge my camera so I couldn't take any pictures. I got this picture from www.geoladders.com. This website has info on lots of other great trails. Be sure to check it out. I plan on conquering every single one.
