My name is Dan Simpson. I love to hike and to help others enjoy the sport! Since I live in Azusa, California, at the mouth of the San Gabriel Canyon, the San Gabriel Mountains / Angeles National Forest is my primary hiking venue. For nearly a decade, it's been my pleasure to help thousands of hikers venture into the San Gabriels.
The heart of this website are write-ups for nearly 70 hikes, mostly in the San Gabriel Mountains, but some also in Griffith Park and Oahu, Hawaii. I also present a guide to waterfalls. I endeavor to provide clarity, accuracy, and completeness in order to give hikers the confidence that they can use my descriptions to hike safely, enjoyably, and successfully. My hiking blog primarily offers narratives of my various hikes while providing links back to the hike descriptions.
I have greatly valued meeting many hikers, both via email and on the trail, who have expressed appreciation for Dan's Hiking Pages. I am gratified that I can help others to be enriched by venturing into the great outdoors and soaking in its beauty. Happy hiking!
Forest Closure: The Station Fire of Sept. 2009 resulted in the closure of 294,317 acres of the Angeles National Forest. On May 25, 2012, the FS opened about 41,000 more acres. Read more.
