[Music]
today we're gonna go explore
the angelus national forest which is
where the san gabriel mountains are
so we're going on top of those mountains
and it's also
on angelus crest highway is that right
yeah
and this leads to the angeles national
forest
which is only about 20 miles from
downtown los
angeles and it's actually a really
gorgeous view
we were here yesterday and wanted to see
some snow because candy's neighbor
told us that she saw some snow at red
box so the location is called red box we
were a little bit confused at first
yeah i kept thinking like the movie but
yes i'm like oh yeah i don't know
but i guess she was talking about um a
trail head it's called red box trailhead
so there's several stops along this
angeles crest highway
and right now it's december and or
actually end of december
january january yeah it's a happy new
year
but uh up this mountain you will
see lots of great vistas we passed by so
much yesterday
and we wanted to go back up again to
see to stop by the vistas and look at
the views at sunset because last night's
sunset was just
gorgeous but we also wanted to go back
up to
have the dogs plant the snow again
because zoe
had such a great time in the snow uh
kuma liked eating the snow
and it was just like you know a lot of
fun for us because it's like our first
time with the dogs in the snow and right
now we can only go up to
red box because you have to have chains
on your tires if you want to go
past or i think they've even blocked it
[Music]
we're at our first turnout and it's
right after
you see the angeles forest sign um
you'll see
this gorgeous view of downtown los
angeles which i don't even know we
could see downtown los angeles from here
but yeah last night when we saw some
photographers taking pictures this way
with that gorgeous sunset we saw that
cityscape view and we're like wow
and it was smoggy and it was still
beautiful it was it was really cool
the smog actually had a cool effect to
it because the sky was like this purple
and reddish color
so fingers crossed like that today
because it was outstanding
hopefully but yeah so right now we're
just gonna like check out these turnouts
and then on our way back uh we'll stop
by some
of the tournaments again to get the
sunset pictures and video
all right so there we see it
it's right there there's downtown los
angeles
what do you think is it cool
what do you think zoe is it cool
[Music]
it's like so windy our hair is going
everywhere yeah
i should wear my hat in the next one
yeah
and these dogs are just like going to
town smelling everything
all right ready
done with one turnout and now we're
gonna do the next one
uh so as we were going up um
or at the first turnout that we just
went to we saw this
couple that had a dog and you know it's
nice to meet
new people and dogs along the way too
[Music]
all right so we found another turnout
and there was like several
of them along the way but they didn't
have like the same view that we had
earlier with um
downtown los angeles here we have um
some mountain mountain views yeah we're
like in between the ranges now
yeah it seems like um but this is the
location where you'll see
a sign that says chains required one
mile ahead it's right before that sign
so we're just gonna take some few
pictures here and leave the doggies in
because they don't think they really
like just standing around
is viewpoint they're they're not
appreciative on these views
they don't appreciate it they appreciate
the snow
but not these views we'll get there guys
we'll get there
[Music]
now we're at switzer picnic area
it's right before the redbox picnic area
but it's pretty crowded right now
all the parking is taken i think this
guy's trying to find parking
uh but yeah you can go down this trail
here
and kind of get like more up close views
of the mountains
and there's also a restroom here too so
if you need to take a potty break
you can go here so we're just gonna skip
this and we're gonna
move on to red box it looks like there's
some additional parking if you go
down the road more but yeah we're just
gonna want to get to red box now
um so that the dogs have some time to
play
my doggies right now we're starting to
see some snow on the mountain so we're
getting close to the snow
and it's getting colder as we go up too
and then you'll start seeing some signs
that say chains required
also signs that say icy
[Music]
we're at redbox now
um when we were here yesterday was way
more packed because we had to park on
the street
way down below i think there's less
people today because it's kind of
cold yeah the winds are a lot more crazy
we parked but uh it is so windy today
the weather is so different from
yesterday yesterday it was
quite nice out here no breeze sunny
weather and i think that's why it was
packed
and today it's the complete opposite
it's kind of
over come on no it's actually sunny
sunny but it's super super windy and
it feels like 20 degrees colder yeah way
colder today especially with that wind
and
even though it is sunny a lot of the
areas here are shaded
so it feels extra cold yes
we did find a parking spot this time
actually inside didn't have to because i
think yesterday parked at least a
quarter mile down
yeah we parked pretty far we found a
spot today actually right
inside the lot also watch where you step
here because i've already seen two
people i know i just saw a little girl
on that patch of ice right there we've
been here less than 10 minutes yeah
so be careful where you're walking
careful
i'm pretty sure i'm gonna fall today
yeah we also saw one car almost get
stuck here yeah
um because yeah it's definitely colder
today so
yes and we parked right in front of this
um american indian cultural center
and i've seen some people walk out with
drinks and snacks so i think you can
probably
get some stuff here um but we're gonna
probably check it out and see
so okay you ever get out of here because
we're so cold we
we stepped out once and we're like oh my
gosh it's freezing
i'm like are we gonna be able to make
this all right we'll we'll do it we'll
do it
okay so there's a bathroom here too
right there
and that is like a snack
area there snack building
it is so windy i'm freezing
uh freezing i don't know how much longer
we could take this because it's so bad
this is so exciting this is really bad
i mean can we hear the wind
