The North Etiwanda Preserve is an interpretive hiking trail opened on Oct 3,
2009. On Christmas Day after opening gifts I put a rib roast in the smoker and
we went off for a hike. It was a nice day for a hike as temperatures were in
the mid 60's. When the kids were little we would go out for a hike on
Christmas eve and while we were gone Santa Claus always seemed to come and put
presents under the tree. |

The trail is 3.25 miles in length and has points of interest along the
way that provide insight into the biology, history, geology and early
cultures associated with the Preserve. The elevation gain is not too severe
like the mountain trails near Baldy. |

This is the ruins of an old settlers cabin. The fire place may be actual
but of course the iron was constructed to give you an idea of sizes. Below
left is Day Canyon wash and it's debris basin. Not very big and I wonder
of it's usefulness in a large rain event. After the next large rain I will
have to go hiking to see the water coming down into this basin. Well, when
we got home Santa had not come but our dinner was ready in the smoker. |
