San Gabriel Mountains National Monument

The source makes a difference
This is where the forks flow into the main San Gabriel River, behind the earthen San Gabriel Dam, which is currently dry. Note the difference in color between the East Fork, on the left, that flows from Mount Baldy, at 10 ,000 feet, and the West Fork that flows from Cogswell Dam. (Credit: Jim Burns)

The eagle has landed?

As first reported in 2016, then again in 2019, bald eagle sightings are the celebrities in 2024, bringing muscular telephoto lenses to bear on Highway 39. The last time I saw this many outdoor photographers was in Rocky Mountain National Park during the fall Elk bugle. (Credit: Jim Burns)
