IMG_1405This gallery is from one of my first participated events with The Los Angeles Hiking and Photography meetup.

Even though I’m a Southern California native, I actually got lost trying to find Glendora! After two stops to ask for directions, getting lost due to bad directions, having to call an out of state friend with anĀ  Internet connection for correct directions and then getting lost again – I finally found Glendora and the Wilderness Park.

After joining the group’s already scheduled route, it wasn’t long until I saw familiar faces. The group was returning to the parking lot, as the main trail to Big Dalton Canyon Trail was closed the public. Not discouraged, we ended up taking a baby trail that meandered alongside the main road. I was pleasantly surprised by the little waterfalls, bridges and special hidden places along the route.

Overall, I learned that adaptation is key in So Cal nature hikes. There is beauty in everything. You just have to cultivate an eye to capture it. The hike was great paced, slow and offered decent photography opportunities. I will try and return next year during early spring.
