* Family Adventure - Week 1
We went for a drive for New Year's Day.
We were originally looking for a little snow and so headed up Mt. Baldy Rd to - you guessed it - Mt. Baldy. But it hadn't rained in the valley/snowed on the mountain in some time and the weather had been too warm for any snow to stick around; all we found were dirty patches of ice clinging to the shady spots on the shoulder of the road. New plan - Glendora Ridge Rd.
Paved and well-maintained with little traffic (even on the holiday), the Glendora Ridge Road twists and winds over 234 curves for 12 miles through the San Gabriel Mountains. It's a driver's kind of road and offers up a great ride with great views. Jordan was giddy with it.
It's astonishingly close at hand - less than 10 minutes from our front door and yet it seems like an entirely different country. So - no snow, but we did find this great little gem of a drive. Three cheers for impromptu adventures, eh?
