Hello, Im Missy! The author behind Adventures in the Angeles! Thanks for visiting my website. Here’s a few things about me
I’m a Los Angeles native. I wasn’t introduced to the outdoors until my early adulthood and now it’s a fierce passion that has fueled me in countless ways. I started off with the local popular hikes and soon was craving bigger and more remote adventures. I’ve always been interested in American history and was astonished when I learned there is so much history that our local mountains contain. The connection of trekking these mountains with history in mind has been so fulfilling. In my blog I attempt to visit some of these historical sites and also visit the hidden beauty that the San Gabriels offer.
For a living, I do professional massage therapy at a high end spa as well as independent work.
Hi Missy,
Can you recommend a secluded place to camp away from everything? I have been rummaging around this place my whole life and grew up with some of Frank Saunders family and I think they sold the bridge and land now. Kinda want to go somewhere I haven’t been. I’m an experienced mountain climber, EMT/SAR, etc.. so I can handle the bushwacking. thanks!!!
Hi Missy,
A fantastic website filled with great information on hidden hiking trails and old mining areas. I was trying to locate Hessert’s Flats on your page about about the Colorful Old Days that mentioned the oldtimers. I searched on the map provided between Vincent Camp and Cattle Canyon and was unsure about how far it was from Cattle Canyon. Thank you for your help.
