downhill from a volcano, Lassen Peak

This mountain foothill land is etched by wind and water, and dotted with basalt outcroppings, caves, and unusual pillar lava formations. The land is a series of east-west running ridges framed by rugged river canyons, with the highest ridges attaining elevations of 4000′. Deer Creek and Mill Creek are the principal drainage and flow into the Sacramento River.

oak forestsThe sun-baked south slopes are covered with chaparral brush. Pines and oaks thrive on the moister slopes facing north and lush damp forests line the river banks. This area is home to pine clusters, dense areas of ponderosa pine growing on terraces in river cut canyons.

Oh Deer! The largest migratory deer herd in California, the Tehama deer herd, winters in this Ishi wilderness area. In addition, wild hogs, mountain lions, black bears, coyotes, bobcats and jack rabbits also live out here. A State Game Refuge, where hunting is not permitted, occupies most of the Ishi Wilderness.

However, special fishing regulations are in effect for fishing in Deer and Mill Creeks, home to many fish species. And of course, a valid California fishing license is required.

A variety of raptors including hawks, eagles, falcons, and owls nest in the rock cliffs. Wild turkey, quail, mourning doves, canyon wrens, band-tailed pigeons, bats and many songbirds are frequently seen.

Angeles National Forest is registered as California Historical Landmark #717, for being the first National Forest in the state.

The Angeles National Forest covers a total of 700,176 acres, protecting large areas of the San Gabriel Mountains and Sierra Pelona Mountains. It is located just north of the densely inhabited metropolitan area of Greater Los Angeles.

While primarily within Los Angeles County, a small part extends eastward into southwestern San Bernardino County, in the Mount San Antonio (Mount Baldy) area, and a tiny section also extends westward into northeastern Ventura County, in the Lake Piru area.

The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, established in 2014 and managed by the U.S. Forest Service, is largely within the Angeles National Forest.

The Angeles National Forest manages the habitats, flora and fauna ecosystems, and watersheds. Some of the rivers with watersheds within its boundaries provide valuable non-groundwater recharge water for Southern California. The existing protected and restored native vegetation absorb and slow surface runoff of rainwater to minimize severe floods and landslides in adjacent communities.

The land within the forest is diverse, both in appearance and terrain. Elevations range from 1,200′ to 10,064′. The Pacific Crest Trail crosses the forest.
