With the number of hikers going up, I can easily imagine much more trash along the way.

The Grassy Hollow Visitor Center is open to the public Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During the week, the Grassy Hollow Visitor Center is open for school groups and other youth activities by appointment. With a location that is only 100 feet from the Pacific Crest Trail, Grassy Hollow is the perfect place to stop and rest, picnic, get information about the forest or to begin a beautiful hike. The Grassy Hollow Visitor Center is located on Highway 2, just minutes west of the Mountain High Resorts.

Is that an old picture?  Shouldn't it say ".. Angeles National Monument?"

No, it is still "Volunteers of the Angeles National Forest".  Grassy Hollow Visitor Center was in the Santa Clara /Mojave Rivers Ranger District.  Now it is in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.

Yes, yes it should.  Anyone notice that the National Monument people aren't walking the talk, not waiving the National Monument flag...or am I missing something?

Who are the "National Monument People"?

Who should the "National Monument people" be?  Where can I find the "National Monument people"?  When I go to the National Monument should I know that I'm in the National Monument, staffed by "National Monument people"?

Yes Grassy Hollow Visitor Center is now within the National Monument but that does not change the fact the the Volunteers of the Angeles National Forest run it.

Hello All, I am Sabrina J the one from the article above. We are still the "Volunteers of the Angeles National Forest". Becoming a national monument did not change our forest's name...that's still the same. :)
