50 foot waterfall deep in Elsmere Canyon. This photo was taken on 5/2/2005 about 10 months after the Foothill fire of July 2004. The thick brush has not grown back yet nicely exposing the light colored basement complex under the brownish beds of the Towsley formation on the upper left.
General location of the canyons. Pico, Towsley/Wiley, and Elsmere/Whitney have parking areas and are open for public hiking. Visit the City of Santa Clarita map website for downloadable maps.
