    Some friends and I are hoping to ride in the San Gabriel Mountains on Saturday. Normally we would ride Mt Lowe without any hesitation, but a friend of mine is suggesting we hit up Red Box. I've heard great things about the trail, but we don't want to risk it if the trail isn't dry.

    What do you think?

    If you are talking about going down the Gabierlino all the way to JLP, I think there will be a lot water in the numerious crossings...could be a adventure. You may need to know your way down the Arroyo well, the highwater may have made the crossing before the debri dam hard to find. The section from Red Box to Switzers will be fine.
    Vic posted some pics a day or two ago of the water coming off the hill. http://www.socaltrailriders.org/for...erril-sunset-el-prieto-loop-san-gabriels.html
