Switzer Picnic Area in Angeles National Forest has a beautiful hiking path (Gabrieleno trail) along the tree lined stream bed of the Arroyo Seco.
The Arroyo Seco or "dry stream" is an important watershed in southern California.
Although this stream can be seasonal, the plant and animal community it supports needs the moisture under the rocky bed all through the year.
Listen to the stream on the last week of spring.

A good place to bird, too!

From the 210 Freeway exit at Angeles Crest Highway (Hwy 2) and head north about 9.5 miles to the picnic area on the right.
"While on a trail or in and around campgrounds and picnic areas, dogs must be kept on a leash. In addition, your dog must wear a collar with current
tags at all times, as state and county laws apply on National Forest
System lands."
