Nominate Best Place to Hike in the San Gabriel Valley

Let us know where the best place to hike is in and around the region so we can put it to a vote and find out which is the Readers’ Choice 2012 winner.

Where is the best place to hike locally?

Patch is relaunching its Readers’ Choice program and we’re asking you, your friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and anyone else who knows about the San Gabriel Valley to nominate the best spots in or near your Patch town. You can pick a business you love from anywhere near your home, from South Pasadena to Montrose, from La Cañada Flintridge to Diamond Bar. This includes Pasadena as well.

We’ll keep accepting nominations through July 9. After that, nominations will be closed, and we’ll start the voting, so make sure to get in your favorites now.

It’s easy:

Nominate your favorite places and trails in the comments!*

*Because this is a contest, you’ll need to create a Patch login to nominate and vote!

NOMINATIONS CLOSE JULY 9!

Don’t forget to tell your friends on Facebook, Twitter and email!

All you need to do to nominate a hike is to add it in the comments below. If you already see the hike you want to nominate, make sure to add your comment about why it should be included, because we may not be able to add all places to our poll, and we want to make sure the top ones make it into the poll.

Thanks for your participation.

Mt.Wilson Trail.....duh!!

The Mt. Wilson Trail is definitely the best: free parking on the streets, easy to drive to, not too crowded compared with other trails, challenging due to the mileage and elevation gain, and rewarding on account of the Cosmic Cafe at the top of Mt. Wilson.

Storm drain beneath Arroyo Seco Golf Course. More of a crawl though. A real uphill battle after the first 200 yards.

Monrovia canyon park - the main trail along the blue line stream is tree shaded and a gorgeous hike (of varying lengths) all year round!

Glendora Mountain Road. Of course, this is even more amazing on a bike. Great, speedy descent!

Hi Susan, The graphic shows that in only one year from 2002-2011 were more Hispanics arrested thanRead More Blacks (2011) - if you hover your mouse over each point you can see the raw number of arrests for each group each year. That's despite there being a substantially larger Hispanic population in L.A. County. The data comes from the Dept. of Justice and was reported by the ACLU - and I believe the point of the report is that there is racial profiling going on, not to suggest that black people are using more pot. In fact, the study suggests that there is not significantly more prevalent pot use among any one racial group. The figure 2.6 times as likely refers to blacks vs. whites, as in mentioned in the first sentence of the article, and comes from the ACLU study. Our intention was definitely not sensationalism but rather to direct readers to this national ACLU study that included L.A. County data. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
