Located in Santa Anita Canyon, in the transition zone
between chaparral and pine woodland where the Coulter pine, Pinus coulteri, is
dominant, is an area of botanical interest.
It is the only known locality in the San Gabriel Range for the madrone,
Arbutus menziesii. Though relict
populations range to San Diego County, the madrone is sparsely distributed in
Southern California. Other plants of interest include Ceanothus oliganthus
and Pickeringia montana. The rare
Galium grande occurs here. Integrity: There
is a ranger station as well as a public picnic area here; however, the
surrounding vegetation is relatively undisturbed. Use: Research,
educational, observational, light recreation. July 1976
