This region is a part of the Angeles National Forest in Southern California. This area is of specific interest to me because of my proximity to it. As a resident of the sprawling city of Los Angeles, I am constantly looking for substantial outdoor space to escape the urban environment. Angeles National Forest is the perfect place to explore and enjoy nature. In addition, my roommates recently hiked through this forest in order to bungee jump off a bridge in the middle of it. This area consists of 655,387 acres of open space with 5 wilderness areas, 10 lakes and reservoirs, and 240 miles of rivers and streams. The Angeles Forest is located in the San Gabriel Mountains just north of Los Angeles county. The terrain of the forest varies greatly but mostly consists of chaparral. Elevation of the region ranges from 1,200 feet to 10,064 feet.
