At Eaton Canyon you park near the Nature Center, cross the wash and turn left to hike the many paths. At least it seems that's what most people do. The hike to Henninger Flats is especially popular. Or this time of year folks can walk in the wash itself. Later, after we have more rain (please), they can splash in the water.If, however, you turn right past the wash, you cross under this archway. Pretty soon you'll find your way to a sign marking the entrance to Moist Canyon.
Boz and I like Moist Canyon, which right now is a name more than a description. I understand part of the canyon's near a Pasadena Police Department firing range but so far, we've found it to be quiet. And it's very good for sniffing.

That's a great tree limb. So graceful!
Wow, the scenery mesmerizes me. You've captured the tranquility so well that one wants to be a part of the picture.
Really stunning.
ooh, i love a good arching branch :-)
Oh that's so awesome looking. I wish I lived in Pasadena.
That is beautiful. I like how the trees frame the path.
Why don't I know about this?! I must hike here. In fact, I must get with you to find out all of the hiking places I don't know about.
Gorgeous shot, P.
Keep checking those ads Vanda.
Sniffing?
Is that tree branch broken, or just growing that way? Amazing!
What a beautiful scene. Could have been used for next month's theme but I'm sure you'll find another such beauty, with the walking you do.
What a name - Moist Canyon. Love it!
Beautiful. Saw a rattlesnake crossing the trail here once.
Hi everyone. Thanks, I'm glad you like the photo! It's a pretty place and easy to get to.
Vanda, I suspect prices are coming down. I'm seeing a lot of "For Rent" signs - folks are hanging on to houses rather than sell them. I know a trustworthy and knowledgeable real estate agent! (Really, I do.)
Laurie, I know a few places. Karin knows a few more. If Raine doesn't mind a gentle, kid-loving dog, I'll take you. This one in particular is easy.
I think it's growing that way, Saretta. The sniffing isn't just for the dog. I love getting out and smelling the different smells. Nice new glasses, by the way.
Thanks for the tip Michael! We'll be extra careful in hot weather.
Nice way to start de New Year b4 it changes back into the same old year.
P, I could use this walk to help recover from all the fun holiday festivities I've just endured.
Love the way that tree limb arches. Also beautiful photo of Johnson Lake. Looks like you and Boz find many peaceful places, even if you are in a city.
This reminds me of all those old western movie stunt riders whose horses gallop under one of these...
I should have gotten a person into the picture for scale. Where the branch begins to arch away from the tree is about the height of a tall man.
I am impressed with the image of tree in this picture.
OMG... how gorgeous is that????? I absolutely love the photo. All I can say is WOW!!!
Thank you Tikno!
Hi Irina, thanks. Glad you like it!
