South Pasadena to Monterey Park Waterfall

South Pasadena to Monterey Park Waterfall


RIDE DESCRIPTION:
We will ride through Highland Park, Montecito Heights, the Arroyo Seco, Pasadena and San Marino. We will ride south for a few miles along the Rio Hondo River and the Bosque Del Rio Hondo in Montebello Hills. When we arrive at the Cascades of Monterey Park we will pause for a group photo. We will tour through Alhambra before returning to start. Rest stops will be at the Montecito Recreation Center, Barnes Park and Story Park.

Note: There is one very steep 19% grade hill, which is only one block long. If you cannot pedal up this hill, feel free to walk it. It is the only difficult part of the ride.
