Santa Anita Loop



The Santa Anita Loop is an all day hike that has stunning scenery and wildlife all over the place. It is not a norm here to have a squirrel run by. The total distance here is 9.5 miles with an gaining elevation of 2010 feet. It lies on the San Gabriel mountains. This scenic loop from Cantry flats takes you to multiple junctions of 4 trails. The 50 foot high astonishing fall makes the trip worthy. I am yet to explore all the other three junctions but look forward to them.

Directions
Residing in Sierra Madre, 91024. From the 210 Freeway in Arcadia, go north on the freeway exit Santa Anita Ave. Follow Santa Anita Avenue all the way into the mountains which is approximately 6 miles. The trail ends at a parking lot at Chantry Flat. The trail begins across the road from the parking lot.
