Cabin Photos by Steve Burns

These cabins are relics of the early 20th Century.  They are the last of the hundreds of cabins from the Recreational Era of the San Gabriels.  Eighty-one remain. Some simple and plain, others ornate and exquisitely crafted.  They are as different as the fingerprints of the men and women who built them.  Escaping fire and flood throughout the decades, they remain with us today as monuments to a time gone by.  With supplies brought into the canyons by burro, they exist much as they did in the days when Jim Heasley, Charley Chantry and Bill Adams led the great mule trains of the past into the hills.
