🌲 Historical Significance

The San Gabriel Mountains have a rich history dating back thousands of years to the Tongva people. The area also has connections to Charles Tom Vincent, a pioneer who operated a mine and resort in the nearby Vincent Gulch area in the late 1800s. Mount San Antonio (Old Baldy), the highest peak in the San Gabriels, was sometimes called "Mount Baldy" or was associated with Vincent's legacy in the region.

The San Gabriel Mountains have been a crucial watershed and recreation area for Southern California, officially protected as part of the Angeles National Forest since 1908.
