(hole_name) The Narrows at Big Tujunga

(Water_type) Stream with mulitple pools and waterfalls

(Location) 20 miles north of downtown Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains. Exit the 210 freeway at Angeles Crest Highway and head north. Over the pass the first intersection will be a "T" section for Angeles Forrest Road. A parking pass can be purchased at the ranger station on the right but you will make the left onto Angeles Forrest Road. You will travel for 6.2 miles to the parking area. There are no signs, the only markings are a large parking area with a single large pine tree in the center and a tall pile of rocks and dirt behind the lot. If you drive as far as the bridge, you have driven to far..

(Water_temp) Spring and winter are chrisp and summer and mid fall warm

(Swimmable_Months) Year around

The swim holes number along the stream, with the largest at the big falls (one mile downstream).

(related) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The not so easy entrance down the canyon keeps a lot of people away, but the adventure is well worth the effort... Once inside the area is quiet and safe for nude hiking or skinny dipping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
