Route 39 Azusa CA San Gabriel Canyon Road going up to Crystal Lake
May 30, 2015 - This was footage going up Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Road) in Azusa, CA going up to Crystal Lake. This was part of the Streetmasters on-the-road training with Walt Fulton and Nancy Foote that I did that day with a bunch of folks from the Irvine Beginner Motorcycle Riders Meetup. This was just the beginning of a very long, exhausting, exhilarating, and fantastic day. Besides Route 39, we also rode East Fork and Glendora Mountain Road (GMR). So many twisties to practice and learn on.

Bridge to Nowhere
Location in California
The Bridge to Nowhere is an arch bridge that was built in 1936 north of Azusa, California in the San Gabriel Mountains. It spans the East Fork of the San Gabriel River and was meant to be part of a road connecting the San Gabriel Valley with Wrightwood.
History
The East Fork Road was still under construction when it was washed out during the great flood of March 1–2, 1938.
The East Fork Road project was abandoned as a result of the floods, leaving the bridge forever stranded in the middle of what is now the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.
Parts of the old asphalt roadway can still be found along the East Fork Trail which leads to the bridge, and there are still a number of concrete slabs which formed the foundations of destroyed bridges to the west of the Bridge to Nowhere. Indeed, the sign along the trail 30 feet east of the John Seals Bridge which announces the start of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness is resting on the old roadbed.
East Fork Trail
Currently there is a major rock fall at approximately 1.56 miles in along the trail at North 34 degrees 15.440, West 117 degrees 45.053, at 2271 feet altitude which poses a significant safety hazard to climb over. Additionally there is a cornice overhang remaining that is poised to come down and there is more friable San Gabriel granite to the right of the calving which is poised to come down. The United States Forest Service is looking at the problem with the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders to determine what can be done about the hazard. As it is, safe passage through 50 meters of trail covered by the rock fall requires the crossing of the river two additional times.
The bridge is only accessible via a 10-mile round-trip hike or on horseback. Despite its popularity, the frequency with which the trails get washed out means that they are rough in places. The trail following the riverbed crosses the East Fork six times between the bridge and the trailhead.
Generally, one follows the river up its course, with several stream crossings before the ascent to the level of the bridge.
The maintenance of the East Fork Trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere is the responsibility of the San Gabriel Mountains Trailbuilders volunteer organization which works under the supervision of the United States Forest Service. Typically trail repairs and maintenance are performed by the Trailbuilders during the Winter months when snow within the Crystal Lake Recreation Area makes trail working at higher elevations in the San Gabriel Mountains difficult and at times hazardous.
In addition to steps being carved out of rock faces to improve hiking safety, trail definition being improved through removing growth and rocks along the trail, and other typical trail work, the Trailbuilders also built the John Seals Bridge across Laurel Gulch, utilizing helicopters, horses, mules, and many human volunteers to establish concrete footings and assemble a solid wooden crossing to ensure safe passage across the Gulch.
Obstructions along the trail which leads to the Bridge To Nowhere and other significant trail problems can be reported to the Trailbuilders.
Bungee jumping
The bridge is a private inholding within the Angeles National Forest. Bungee jumping is provided by a private company.[6] Jumpers typically meet at the main parking area for Heaton Flats Campground early in the morning, collecting at the Forest Service gate and then walking to the East Fork Trail trailhead where jumpers begin the hike generally as a group. After individuals jump from the bridge, people hike back either alone or in pairs or in groups, some times doing so after dark.
Safety issues
There have been a large number of fatalities along the East Fork of the San Gabriel River due in part to the swift water of the San Gabriel River which can rise significantly and without warning when heavy rainfall to the Northeast of the region introduces flash flood waters to the river. Crossing the river to and from the Bridge to Nowhere can be dangerous and even individuals crossing in groups have experienced fatalities.

Southern Pacific Rattlesnake next to the West Fork Trail in Azusa, California
From inoffensive to easily provoked, this poisonous pit viper can vary in size and temperament. Common characteristics of mature rattlers are a powerful body that can reach a length of 5.5 feet; a thin neck; a triangular, or heart-shaped head; facial pits; hooded eyes with elliptical pupils; and a tail rattle, often called buttons. (caution: tail rattles can be lost or may not yet be present in young snakes).
If threatened, the rattlesnake may coil, rattle, and raise its upper body, appearing ready to strike while actually backing slowly away with its lower body. However, if surprised, it may lunge up to several feet, striking without any warning behavior whatsoever.
Not every strike delivers venom. Occasionally the snake will inflict what is called a dry bite. Regardless, every rattlesnake bite needs medical attention.
The Southern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus helleri) and the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus oreganos) are both subspecies of the Western Rattlesnake.
Both of these snakes are vipers and they are dangerously venomous, as snakes native to the United States go. The two snakes are superficially similar to one another except for the distributions and minor differences in the body and tail coloration and patterning. The Southern is typically darker and the pattern is less defined than that
of the lighter and more detailed Northern variety.

San Gabriel Mountains
The San Gabriel Mountains (Spanish: Sierra de San Gabriel) are a mountain range located in northern Los Angeles County and western San Bernardino County, California, United States.[1] The mountain range is part of the Transverse Ranges and lies between the Los Angeles Basin and the Mojave Desert, with Interstate 5 to the west and Interstate 15 to the east. This range lies in, and is surrounded by, the Angeles National Forest, with the San Andreas Fault as the northern border of the range.
The highest peak in the range is Mount San Antonio, commonly referred to as Mt. Baldy. Mount Wilson is another famous peak, famed for the Mount Wilson Observatory and the antenna farm that houses many of the transmitters for local media. The observatory may be visited by the public. On October 10, 2014, President Obama designated the area the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.[2] To date, The Trust for Public Land has protected more than 3,800 acres of land in the San Gabriel Mountains, its foothills and the Angeles National Forest
