Andrew Vogelbach acts as a personal CFO in providing Southern California clients with pathways toward protecting and expanding financial assets. One of Andrew Vogelbach’s favorite activities is hiking, and he particularly enjoys exploring trails in the Pasadena area.
One of the most popular local hikes is in the Eaton Canyon Natural Area Park, which spans nearly 200 acres at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Known as “El Precipicio” by early Spanish settlers, reflecting its steep gorges, the area was subsequently renamed after Judge Benjamin Eaton. The 19th century pioneer was the first to employ the local creek as a source of irrigation for cultivating grapes.
The Eaton Canyon Trail is 1.75 miles one way, with a flat and wide dirt trail eventually giving way to a single track scramble through a narrow canyon. After crisscrossing the creek several times, hikers arrive at a natural amphitheater and a 40-foot waterfall. The terrain beyond the falls dramatically rises, and there is no further progress possible on foot.
Swimming is popular in the shallow pool under the waterfall, and another highlight for spring visitors is the abundant flowering plants, such as chia and fern leaf phacelia.
