Learn about the history of the Mt. Lowe Railway with Dan Abendschein, editor of the Altadena Patch, who is the docent for the hike hosted by the Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy.
Patch Hiking Club participants are invited to join the hike, which is open to all members of the public. The hike is about a mile each way, and is demanding at points. Meet at the intersection of Pleasantridge Drive and Rubio Vista Drive in Altadena.
Hikers are recommended to wear hiking boots, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a hat and water in a day pack or holster to keep your hands free. Rattlesnakes, tics and poison oak could be along the trail.
