[Music]
we
are parked right now at the haha manga
watershed
park and this is in the area of la
canada flint ridge california
and also pasadena it's like kind of like
on the border of those
two uh i don't say cities counties it's
actually a huge
area of horse trails so you will see
actually horses um towards the left
right now we're about the bottom left
but we're in the upper part of hamanga
right now and this area is where there's
a lot of picnicking going on there's
some grills you'll find the laboratories
here
and it's a nice woodsy area and
i like to come up here to start my
walks with zoe and um it's really is a
horse trail so it's a lot of like horse
droppings
but a lot of people use it to walk their
dogs kuma is here with me in california
so
kenya and i bring the dogs here often to
take the dogs for a nice walk because
there's lots of easy trails here
and the dogs love it but just be careful
for the horses because there are horses
that go by often
and also for some horse poo because
for some reason dogs love other animals
poo and
kuma especially is interested in horse
poo so just make sure
that they don't eat it because they are
like all around i mean it's fine it's
just hay
which is disgusting you know yeah and it
doesn't stink either it's like two
different sections like the upper
section is very woodsy there's a lot of
trees
a lot of shade but if you go down into
the parking lot
and you walk towards the left
it's a very serene more flat
and more open space with very very
little shade
so it's a big contrast between the upper
part and the lower part
i like them both i don't really have a
preference
but in the summertime i guess this area
is better up here because
you want to be in the shade it's also a
big disc golf
recreational area so you'll see a lot of
disc golfers here and
on the weekends it is pretty busy down
there in the parking lot it's not a very
big parking lot so
um yeah the disc golfers
pretty much take up a lot of the parking
down there on the weekends they love
their disc golf here
they really do yeah but you know that's
what the area is
for is that and horseback riding oh one
more thing there is a
softball field on the lower level a lot
of grass
and the dogs love running around there
although they're supposed to be leashed
so we only do that like midday when
there's no one around
unfortunately right now they it's kind
of gated because
at certain times of the year as they
close it off for a few months to
regrow the grass oh yeah very great
upkeep here
it's very it's a very very nice park and
i do like they have restrooms available
here too
all right well we're gonna get the dogs
out and let them explore now
hey babies kuma is already ready to go
she always does this she's like all
right i'm ready i'm ready all righty
baby
let's always stay here let's get this on
whoops okay
let's go gotta wear the mask i always
forget it
it's right here
hey i'm coming
[Music]
somebody playing the scottish bag parks
out here in the park and i'm like really
into the scottish culture right now
because
i'm obsessed with outlander obsessed
[Music]
yeah so this is a nice path you can go
on
goes in like a loop right yeah it goes
in a
big i don't know where the loop starts i
usually just park at the bottom and kind
of walk
up and then walk back to the parking lot
so i kind of feel like
i think i do like a half loop yeah i
really have no idea where it starts the
actual
trail it means i could do like shortcuts
and stuff easily yeah
[Music]
how you doing you like this trail
so now we're on the lower portion of the
trail
you can see more of the mountains in the
background over there
yeah a lot of disc golfers out and uh
it's very nice weather today it's
actually in the
mid 70s for early december
really really nice oh yeah look at those
mountains uh such a nice day today
very clear skies
[Music]
so this is the lower trowel more of the
lower trail on the bottom
and then you can go all the way down
there and around
and then right now you can see it's like
sunset time
so the mountains turn really pretty pink
colors
we've taken pictures here before his ah
it's gorgeous especially in the fall
winter
the colors turn like this amazing
reddish pink color
and orangey at the same time it's really
beautiful
and then the parking lot down this is
the blower parking lot
but it is a little bit under
construction right now they're building
a reservoir so
um but you can walk at least a mile down
that way
and it's really fun when it rains and
then there's like little streams of
water
oh my gosh zoe loves it when there's
rain and
the dog she just like runs in the
puddles it's it's amazing because it
rarely like
rains here in california so when it does
you have to take advantage of that and
come here
the dogs can run around the waters um
it's it's really really cute seeing them
run around
come on guys and then of course here in
the middle
is where a disc golf course is so you'll
see a lot of disc golfers
playing their game
[Music]
so there's like little dogway stations
uh oh that's what it's called um what's
called arroyo seco natural
area is a natural area park that
supports a variety of wildlife
many animals depend on the vegetation
adjacent to the trails for nesting food
and protection
this one actually has like an
instruction like and they have three
three ports like pull up in case you've
never used a poop bag which i do know
someone
that did not know how to use it what
this is how you use it
how does someone not know how to use it
there's more picnic tables here
where the disc golf players
uh play their game so they could
probably rest
lots of uh trash cans around here too
which i like a little bit of information
this is called the arroyo seco natural
area
and arroyo seco means dry gulching
spanish
first locally to the stream course
canyon that begins in the san gabriel
mountains
the oreo cycle trails it goes on for a
long while i mean
the sid south pasadena
and it's all that but we're in here
we're at the haha manga watershed we're
like at the very very end of pasadena
yeah so this is where we are you are
here
and that's where we just saw the disc
golf course we parked
up here and then we walked down here and
we walked along
and this is where i was saying i can
keep going there's jpl
and when it rains there's a lot of like
streams here and water puddles
oh yeah and if you keep going this way
there's like a bridge yeah yeah the
bridge is really good yeah the bridge is
cool so
you want to check that out um
yeah so there are there are some
bathrooms right in there
there's a few spots yeah i just want to
know one more thing
um there are a lot of fox tales here
so when you get home please please
please make sure you check your
pups feet because they're always
burrowed in there especially zoe because
she has a lot of firm between her paws
and i always pull out like five to six
if you don't
it really boils in and affects them you
have to take it to the vet
it gets to have to pull them out get
stretches i've seen it's gross
and it's costly okay so that's basically
what we do around here at the haha manga
watershed park we really like it here
it's very
peaceful um lots of great trails to go
on the dogs like it
very everyone's really courteous too
i've never run into anyone that's
i don't know kind of weird or yeah as an
attitude problem no
everybody's very very friendly here yeah
