Camping

There are 59 "first come - first served" Forest Service campgrounds, 7 group campgrounds that require advance reservations, 36 picnic areas, 8 resorts and 24 organizational camps. The Crystal Lake private-operated Campground can be reserved in advance.

Campgrounds are usually available except during summer holiday weekends, when they fill up quickly. For example, Chilao usually fills up by mid-morning of the first day of the holiday.

Hiking

Hikes in the San Gabriel Mountains is T. Chester's main hiking page that gives extensive information about hiking in the SGM and attempts to index all the SGM hikes on the web. That site contains a list of all websites that give information on specific trails. Hence the list below contains only sites with extensive hiking information or sites that also have additional hiking information beyond specific hikes. See also Bicycling, Mountain Bicycling and Running sites, since they also contain trail information.

Family, Group and Special-Interest Hikes contains links to organized hikes.

Sites are listed in order of information content.
