    The White City by Miles Clements the RUINS of the Echo Mountain

    The White City by Miles Clements THE RUINS of the Echo Mountain House appear like a low-budget Machu Picchu wrapped in smog, like a run-down Hollywood stand-in for some lost civilization. The building’s stone base, now crumbling into the mountain’s topsoil, traces the outline of the spot where the elaborate Victorian hotel once stood. In place of its seventy grand rooms are patches of overgrown chaparral and a pair of scorched pines. Sagebrush lizards dash through what was once the ornate lobby while a bluebird flies circles in the sky. At the site of the ruined structure, day hikers come and go. Some sit on the remaining tracks of the Mount Lowe Railway, taking in the obscured vistas of the Los Angeles basin and the San Gabriel Valley. Others, more intent on exploration, head to the strategically placed “Echophones” and shout into the megaphone-like devices, waiting for their voices to careen off the canyon walls. As the hikers’ yells slowly fade into the mountainside, a family of six ascends the granite staircase leading to the Echo Mountain House. They mill about the former chateau, taking pictures and eating granola bars. But after about fifteen minutes and a few swigs of water, the mother, donning a green Nike sweatshirt, corrals the family back into a small cluster. Walking past graffiti-covered plaques and huge, rusting railroad equipment, they head down the mountain and pack into their minivan, leaving their brief contact with the Echo Mountain House behind, surely taking only a few scant memories with them on their way back to the stucco houses and well-maintained lawns of Los Angeles’ suburbs.

John Muir could easily turn out a thousand words, but as far as we know he seldom, if ever, used a camera. However, it is evident that Muir recognized and respected the value of visual images. During his lifetime he amassed a collection of nearly 3,000 photographs, many ofwhich were taken by acquaintances and friends such as William Keith, Charles Lummis, Theodore Lukens, Marion Delany, George Fiske, Herbert W. Gleason, William Herrin, Marion Hooker, Helen L. Jones, C. Hart Merriam, Edward Parsons, and his daughter Helen Muir. Some photographs were retained for Currently, early photographs documenting the Muir­ personal enjoyment and others for use as illustrations for Strentzel home in Martinez serve a useful purpose.

ISBN-0-9667409-1-2 Preface In this collection of stories, I have recorded some of my adventures on the mountains of the world. I make no pretense to being anything other than an average hiker for, as the first stories tell, I came to enjoy the mountains quite late in life. But, like thousands before me, I was drawn increasingly toward the wilderness, partly because of the physical challenge at a time when all I had left was a native courage (some might say foolhardiness), and partly because of a desire to find the limits of my own frailty. As these stories tell, I think I found several such limits; there are some I am proud of and some I am not. Of course, there was also the grandeur and magnificence of the mountains. There is nothing quite to compare with the feeling that envelopes you when, after toiling for many hours looking at rock and dirt a few feet away, the world suddenly opens up and one can see for hundreds of miles in all directions. If I were a religious man, I would feel spirits in the wind, the waterfalls, the trees and the rock. Many of these adventures would not have been possible without the mar- velous companionship that I enjoyed along the way.

  • A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco

    A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco

    Page 1 Flowing Waters, Fruitful Valley A Brief History of Water Development in the Arroyo Seco By Tim Brick Geographically and historically the Arroyo Seco has played an important role in the development of water resources in Southern California. The Natural History Geology divided the Arroyo Seco into three distinct sections with very different hydrologic characteristics: 1) the precipitous upper mountain watershed; 2) the Raymond Basin area including Pasadena and surrounding communities; and 3) the region below the Raymond Dyke in South Pasadena and northeast Los Angeles. About half the length and area of the Arroyo Seco lies in the upper mountain watershed. This is the front range of the Sierra Madre or San Gabriel Mountains, well known for their harsh conditions. Fierce rainstorms and raging forest fires periodically attack the steep erosion-prone slopes in this relatively small upper watershed (32 square miles) to create the conditions for substantial floods that occasionally roar into the heavily populated communities below. As the Arroyo Seco emerges from the San Gabriel Mountains, its steep descent slows and the waters cut through an alluvial plain. Beneath this region, which includes La Cañada-Flintridge, Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre and part of Arcadia, lies the Raymond Basin – a massive bowl of alluvial sand and gravel filled with water. The south rim of the basin is the Raymond Dyke, a geological fault that runs from Highland Park to Raymond Hill at Pasadena’s southern boundary with South Pasadena and then through San Marino just north of Huntington Drive to Santa Anita Canyon on the east side of Arcadia.
