SanGabrielResources

Maps - There are a number of maps of different areas of the San Gabriels, including the new Mt. Wilson Area Trail Map, the Angeles Front Country, the Angeles High Country, the San Gabriel Recreational Area Map and the Mt. Baldy Cucamonga Wilderness Map. We stock all these maps at the store as well as maps for the more popular trail areas in California. If we don't stock a map you need, most of them can be obtained in a matter of days.

Books - Fifty Trail Runs in Southern California is a great trail resource and includes a number of runs in the San Gabriels. John Robinson's classic Trails of the Angeles - 100 Hikes in the San Gabriels is once again in print and is a great guide to getting to and finding the trails you want to hike. The book includes a great map of the area as well.
