The city of Pasadena owns Eaton Canyon below the falls. The County Fire Dept. controls the Mt. Wilson Toll Road below Henninger Flats. Those two do not always follow Angeles National Forest closures lock step. The head of Eaton Canyon is at Eaton Saddle, between San Gabriel Pk and Mt Wilson, and is solidly inside the ANF.

Eaton Canyon was the site of a major fire in October of 1993 that was started by a transient cooking his dinner over an open fire while Santa Ana winds were howling.

I can taste, hear, see, AND smell it. Can't touch it yet, but the day is young.

Yup. I'm real familiar with Eaton Canyon - grew up there. I did not realize, however, that it was owned by Pasadena; that's cool to know.

I remember that fire... but it's been ten years, so there's plenty of fresh fuel for fires there. Siiiigh.
