A worker checks out new roof on top of one of the restrooms in Big Santa Anita Canyon/Chantry Flat area. This part of the Angeles National Forest/San Gabriel Mountains National Monument will remain closed for repairs until Oct. 1. .as a crucial addition to the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument will remain closed through the summer, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The paths, called numbered roadways on maps, leading to trails and recreation areas in the canyon, were badly damaged by flood waters that took out sections. Parts of trails that have existed for more than a hundred years were washed away. Contractors had to rebuild part of the washed out areas and have placed reinforcement materials to stabilize slopes. In some spots, berms were recreated to help shore up the area, Lopez said.
Volunteers from nonprofit groups have been focusing on the trails themselves, the Forest Service reported. “The U.S. Forest Service put out a call to all our volunteers and they’ve been working on the trails,” said Dana Dierkes, spokesperson for the USFS.
