This incredible site is 1.2 miles from the city of Pasadena, yet nobody I talked to in the city had ever been there or knew where it was, and the pot-smoking hipsters I crossed paths with only wandered into the area because they were bored.
Part of me wonders "what the hell is wrong with people," but on the other hand, this was a nice reprieve from vandalized, litter-covered, and disrespected "preserves" I had seen before.
Perhaps visitors are repelled by the precarious nature of some its paths, but I love being tested and reminded of my life's frailty.
