San Gabriel Mountains National Monument

San Gabriel Mountains National Monument covers 342,177 acres of the Angeles National Forest and 4,002 acres of neighboring San Bernardino National Forest. The area is within 90 minutes of the Los Angeles Basin.

Soaring high above the Los Angeles Basin, the San Gabriel Mountains also are working lands that provide Angeleños 70 percent of their available open space and 30 percent of their drinking water.

Current recreational opportunities include geological, natural history and cultural interpretation activities, hiking, bicycling, hunting, horseback riding, fishing, picnicking, skiing and off-highway vehicle use.

Leashed dogs are permitted on trails, in the wilderness, in campgrounds and in developed areas. Dogs aren’t allowed inside buildings, in swimming areas and in some cabins.
