"The San Gabriel River, and especially its west fork, is a striking anomaly. Lying in this national forest in the far northeast reaches of Los Angeles County, which has about 10 million residents, it is far, very far, in feeling from the urban sprawl along its lower reaches. Beyond the mustard-hued smog and subdivisions along the freeway and in the city of Azusa, at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, the road narrows, the cliffs soar and the air, flora and fauna shift."
