CAMP

PASADENA

TODAY’S PARENTS HAVE A WIDE SELECTION OF SUMMER

CAMPS FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO ATTEND


T he origins of camping can be traced to a seminal

event that took place in 1861, in Washington, Connecticut.

Frederick Gunnery and his wife Abigail

took the boys they’d been housing at their home-school

on a two-week trip. The Gunnery’s and their charges

hiked up to their designated spot and made camp and

spent time at the idyllic location fishing, trapping and

boating. The trip was a rousing success and thus marked

the start of what today is considered the first known

example of organized camping.

Today, camping has made leaps and bounds in

terms of the myriad choices available — from sports,

performing-arts and computer camps to science and

nature camps, language immersion, as well as camps for

those with physical or mental challenges. The options are

plentiful and diverse.

T HE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY IS A GREAT PLACE FOR OUTDOORS

ARE THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS ARRAY OF TRAILS TO BE FOUND

IN THE MOUNTAINS AND CANYONS OF THE SAN GABRIEL

MOUNTAINS AND THE ADJOINING ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST.

Thankfully, ly there’s e’

an ample array of websites ready to provide

information on the best trails — and ones to avoid — for both experienced

hikers and those who are so clueless they’re likely to get lost or

hurt on their first try.

After all, you’ll want to make sure your time spent in the great

outdoors is fun, not traumatic, so make sure you follow any rules

posted, especially concerning trails that are closed for safety reasons.

Bring plenty of sunscreen and water, comfortable shoes, and if

at all possible at least one friend in case anything goes wrong.

For those who want to find the best that the San Gabriel Mountains

have to offer, visit hikespeak.com/los-angeles/san-gabrielmountains.

Offering a mix of how to find waterfalls to the best

mountain views and amazing vistas of the cities far below, the site is

a great one-stop guide to a summer filled with discovery and healthy

exercise.

Aside from the numerous 30- to 50-foot waterfalls in the area and

plenty of lush greenery, the right trails will also enable you to find

intriguing ruins. For instance, the Sam Merrill Trail runs nearly six

miles near Altadena. Starting at the top of Lake Avenue, the walk

features a river and ruins from an old hotel, as well as remnants of

the Lowe Railroad, which ran through the mountains at around the

turn of the last century. The Merrill Trail is also known for some of

the most panoramic views of Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, modernhiker.com/area-maps/angeles-national-forest

offers a thorough overview of the trails to be found in the Angeles



16



National Forest, which was the first official national forest in California.

Visitors can enjoy more than 655,000 acres of virtually pristine

outdoor space there, just outside of the LA city limits, with roaring

rivers, the remnants of resorts from more than a century ago, and

pine-filled canyons stretching all the way to the top of Mount Baldy

at more than 10,000 feet.

The site offers color-coded pins to point out where the trails with

different difficulty levels are, and also has a handy chart breaking

down the distances of the different trails next to their difficulty ratings.

In addition, there are hiking write-ups by people who have actually

used the trails recently. And when you realize that the forest’s

portion of Highway 2 goes all the way to Palmdale, you’ll be amazed

by the wealth of available options for outdoor fun. Best of all, this

site provides distance, elevation gain, and difficulty ratings.

The site discoversgv.com/hiking-the-san-gabriel-mountains offers

a wealth of quick and handy descriptions of what numerous trails

have to offer. If you want to experience numerous local plants along

with views of Placerita Canyon, then take Ecology Trail. Or if you

want to see a double waterfall, you can take the Rubio Canyon Trail.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for a great place to camp out

without taking a trip far out of town, Hoagees Camp is located along

Lower Winter Creek Trail through a picturesque wooded canyon to

a backcountry campground with 14 sites that are first come, first

serve. Another option is hiking above Sturtevant Falls to a backcountry

campground with seven sites that are also first come, first serve,

at Spruce Grove Camp.

It also turns out there’s more than one “Bridge to Nowhere” in

America, as a hike named just that requires those who traverse it

to cross several rivers in the San Gabriels to reach an out-of-place

bridge with an intriguing history.

Read carefully and choose wisely among your many hiking

options and you’ll be making plenty of your own historic memories

as well.■

FALCON THEATRE

Falcon Theatre presents Impro Theatre’s Tennessee Williams Unscripted June 10- July 31

“Simultaneously funny, moving and absolutely in keeping with Williams’ thematics. Impro Theatre’s

considerable agility and its infectious sense of play makes you want to go back again.” – Los

Angeles Times Passionate, smoldering secrets lurk beneath the surface of genteel society – and

explode in a comical climax of accusation, confession and calamity. Inspired by American master

playwright Tennessee Williams’ rollicking storytelling and delicious language, Impro Theatre starts

with a single audience suggestion and builds improvised, full-length plays that are hilarious, yet

tender as a Southern belle’s broken heart. Williams’ best known plays include A Streetcar Named

Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Glass Menagerie.

Music

City, USA

PASADENA GIVES NASHVILLE A RUN FOR ITS MONEY

WITH THIS SUMMER’S MANY DIVERSE SHOWS

BY CARL KOZLOWSKI

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a great concert, and Pasadena

offers more options than just about any place in America

for music fans. With three competing symphonies, the Rose

Bowl offering three gigantic concerts, the long-standing local favorite

Levitt Pavilion, the daylong Make Music Pasadena festival, and

the hot new nightclub the Rose all bringing quality entertainment to

town, the Crown City might just give Nashville a run for the title of

Music City.

First and foremost, music fans can rejoice that this is the first

year in ages that the city’s two main competing orchestras — the

California Philharmonic, CalPhil, and the Pasadena POPS — are not

relying on The Beatles tribute shows to draw crowds. Instead, both

ensembles are mixing things up in a big way with an array of other

opportunities.

First, the POPS are offering a four-show program kicking off

with the theme of “First Ladies of Song” on June 18, featuring guest

soloists Lynn Roberts, Cady Huffman and Madelyn Baillio singing

standards like “The Man That Got Away,” “Fever” and “Over the

Rainbow” under the direction of conductor Michael Feinstein.

But it’s on the evening of July 9 that the POPS is offering up what

could be the most fun show of the summer, when the “Music of Billy

Joel” is spotlighted featuring solo pianist/singer Michael Cavanaugh,

who was the star of the Broadway Joel tribute show “Movin’ Out.”

Feinstein presents the “Sinatra Project Volume 2” on July 30,

offering up an evening of classics from Ol’ Blue Eyes. And on Aug.

20, it’s “Cole Porter Night,” featuring soloists Catherine Russell and

Nic Ziobro singing songs by the great American standards writer

including “I Love Paris” and “De Lovely.”

Meanwhile, CalPhil kicks off its season at Santa Anita Race

Track and Walt Disney Concert Hall with the “All-American”

show on June 25, featuring the orchestra, backed by a narrator

and dancers, as they play classics ranging from the “New World

Symphony” and “Lincoln Portrait” to “California Dreamin’’ and



Coldplay


“Good Vibrations” with ragtime, country, jazz and Motown in

between.

On July 9, “At the Movies” features music from classic films

including “The Mission,” the “Adagio for Strings from ‘Platoon’,”

“Titanic,” “The Lion King,” and Beethoven’s 9th Symphony

featuring “Ode to Joy.” The July 23 “Classical Rock” show offers an

intriguing combination of ABBA, Queen and Janis Joplin mixed

with Mozart’s 29th Symphony, Brahms’ “Haydn Variations” and

Grieg’s “Peer Gynt Suite,” featuring Tony-nominated singer Mary

Bridget Davies and the CalPhil Rock Band.

CalPhil’s summer closes out with an Aug. 6 show called “Center

Stage,” featuring Broadway classics from “Porgy & Bess,” “Aida,”

“Grease” and “La Traviata”, and Aug. 20 with the annual tradition

of playing one of classical music’s most epic works, Horst’s “The

Planets.”

Under the guidance of mega-maestra Rachael Worby, MUSE/

IQUE always has interesting shows up its sleeve. Its “Summer of

Sound 2016” program presents “Gershwin/Nation,” featuring three

shows inspired by George and Ira Gershwin’s work together as

songwriters.

The “Perfect/Union” show July 16 kicks things off with a night

of tributes to songwriting duos like Lennon/McCartney, Simon

& Garfunkel and the Gershwins, while “American/Rhapsody”

features thrilling American classical music like “Rhapsody in Blue”

on Aug. 20. Finally, “Summer/Time” on Sept. 20

closes out the season with a tribute to “Porgy

and Bess” featuring a mix of virtuoso o

players, gospel choirs, tap dancers and

special surprises.

Of course, you can count on the

Rose Bowl to bring you the literally

biggest concerts of the year, with

Beyoncé bringing her controversial

“Formation World Tour” to town

on May 14 and Coldplay taking on

the challenge of packing the stadium

for two nights Aug. 20 and 21. Good

luck finding tickets to either, but start t by

Beyoncé

Now in its ninth year, Make Music Pasadena, the West Coast’s

largest free music festival, is set for Saturday, June 11, featuring

more than 150 performers playing on six main stages and 30

smaller outdoor stages set up throughout downtown Pasadena.

Judging by last year’s attendance, more than 50,000 people are

expected to attend this year’s festival, which runs from 11 a.m.

to 11 p.m. The program showcases almost every genre, including

electronica, indie and alternative rock, world, folk, Latin, funk, and

jazz. This year’s headliners include Atlas Genius, Bear Hands, The

Mowgli’s, Small Black, Nahko and Medicine for the People.

The Levitt Pavilion offers up outdoor shows in a much more

under the stars to Memorial Park in Old Pasadena. The full summer

schedule has yet to be announced, but early shows include a

production of the African-American version of “The Wizard of Oz,”

“The Wiz,” and the long-popular duo Trout Fishing in America.

Finally, The Rose nightclub at Paseo Colorado is bringing a

constant flow of classic rock and pop stars through town and has a

few particularly impressive shows on tap. “An Evening with Justin

Hayward,” featuring the singular voice of The Moody Blues, takes

place on June 11, while Todd Rundgren hits town on May 4 and

perennially popular standup Sinbad brings the jokes on July 29. ■

Ghost Town Alive!

Revolution Virtual Reality Coaster


ducing any new rides this year, but plans to open an attraction set on a

Star Wars-themed planet a few years from now.

Located in nearby Buena Park, Knott’s Berry Farm (knotts.

com) this summer will celebrate the 75th anniversary of Ghost Town

with the introduction of Ghost Town Alive! an interactive experience

featuring stories and adventures set in Calico town, and the restored

“GhostRider” trains. Knott’s also recently opened the remodeled Mrs.

Knott’s Chicken Dinner Restaurant. One-day tickets can be purchased

at the gate for $72.

Six Flags Magic Mountain (sixflags.com/magicmountain)

recently added the New Revolution Virtual Reality Coaster to its

attractions. Riders wearing wireless headsets will be able to view a

virtual world with images synchronized to the roller coaster’s movement.

Gate prices for tickets range from $51.99 to $76.99, while tickets

purchased online three days in advance cost $51.99. .

Pasadenans sweltering in the summer heat have long sought relief

at the beach. This summer local residents can travel to the ocean

without encountering massive traffic jams and costly parking prices,

thanks to Metro Rail. On May 20, the extended Expo Line will begin

service, with the final stop at the Santa Monica Pier. It won’t be the

easiest train ride; Pasadenans who begin their trip on the Gold Line to

Union Station will need to transfer to the red or purple line, stopping at

the 7th Street/Metro Center station to board the Expo Line. But many

residents may find the lengthy train ride preferable to the bumper-tobumper

traffic along Pacific Coast Highway. Consult Metro’s website

at metro.net/# for additional information about the subway system.

MUSEUMS: The Pasadena area has so many great museums that

local residents often forget there are many other museums throughout

Los Angeles County. Three of the county’s family-friendly museums

are located in Exposition Park. The Museum of Natural History

(nhm.org) is dinosaur central for the county, with more than 300 fossils

and 20 complete dinosaur and sea creature skeletons displayed

at Dinosaur Hall. A related exhibited about pterosaurs — prehistoric

creatures that flew with their fingers when dinosaurs dominated the

land — will be displayed from July 3 through October 2. Summer

is also the best time to see some of the museum’s outdoor exhibits,

including the Butterfly Pavilion, home to 30 native North American

butterfly species and a variety of plants. General admission is $12 for

adults; $9 for students and adults 62 or older; $5 for children 3 to 12;

and free for children 2 or younger.

Visitors to the nearby California Science Center (californiasciencecenter.org)

can see Space Shuttle Endeavour and learn about the

spacecraft’s scientific accomplishments and connections to Southern

California. Timed reservations to see Endeavour are required on

weekends, holidays and special events; visitors can buy tickets to see

both Endeavour and the museum’s other exhibits or to only see the

Endeavor exhibit. Some of those exhibits include Journey to Space,

which recreates the challenges of living and working in space, and

information about humans in space, space missions to the planets, and

stars and telescopes.

Exposition Park is also home to the California African American

Museum (caamuseum.org). Two new exhibits are scheduled to

be on display from May 11 through Sept 18: “Oh Snap! West Coast Hip

Hop Photography” is a collection of photos focusing on hip hop artists

who were prominent in the 1990s. “Reflections on the Self: Selections

from the Permanent Collection” presents the wide range of techniques

and media that artists have used to depict the human form. Admission

to the museum is free.

Dinosaurs are not the only prehistoric creatures showcased at a

local museum; La Brea Tar Pits & Museum (tarpits.org) focuses on

the mammals that lived at Rancho La Brea between 11,000 and 50,000

years ago. Since 1906 scientists have excavated more than 1 million

bones from more than 230 species at the tar pits site, which can be

viewed by visitors. The nearby museum provides additional information,

including screenings of “Titans of the Ice Age,” a 3-D movie, and

presentations of “Ice Age Encounters,” a multimedia performance. ■

The Good

Word

LOCAL PUBLISHERS PRESENT A COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL

WORKS IN TIME FOR SUMMER

BY REBECCA KUZINS

Summer mer is traditionally ti

ally

ly

the

slowest st season son

in

the

book ok publishing

i

industry — the time when many readers prefer lightweight titles

that can be read while at the beach or on vacation. But this summer

Pasadena booksellers and publishers plan to introduce some titles

that defy the easy-reading category.

One of the more serious new books is “Becoming Earth,” scheduled

to be released in May by Red Hen Press, a Pasadena-based independent

publisher. Essayist, poet and marine biologist Eva Saulitis recounts

how two years of living with metastatic cancer led her to mediate on

the nature of wildness. Saulitis says she eventually recognized that “living

is not separate from dying. It is not yet time to dig a grave, but time

to wander the woods, seeking a good site.”

Red Hen plans to release four other books this summer: “LA

Fiction Anthology” is a collection of short stories written by

Southern California authors, including T.C. Boyle, Ron Carlson,

Judith Freeman and Percival Everett. Lori Tobias’ novel

“Wander,” set in a fictional rural community in Alaska in the

1980s, tells the story of Patrice “Pete” Nash, a young journalist

who becomes friendly with another man when she spends the winter

without her husband.

“Six” is Julie Marie Wade’s collection of six interconnected poems

that, according to the publisher’s catalog, plumb “six essential aspects

of human experience that have shaped us all: art, language, desire,

vocation, faith, and life-changing love.” Wade has written several other

books, including “Wishbone: A Memoir in Fractures,” which won the

Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Memoir. Another poetry

collection, Kathleen Driskell’s “Blue Etiquette,” was inspired

by Emily Post’s 1922 edition of book “Etiquette” and focuses

on the interactions between wealthy members of society and

their servants.

Prospect Park Books, another Pasadena-based publisher,

this summer will release three new books by local

authors. “This Side of Providence” is the second novel by Rachel M.

Harper, an Altadena writer. Publisher Colleen Dunn Bates describes

the book as a “heartbreaking yet ultimately hopeful story

of a Puerto Rican immigrant family in Providence,

R.I.” Restauranteur and baker

in “Little Flower Baking.”

In addition, Prospect Park will launch “Sayonara Slam” at

Vroman’s Bookstore on May 2 at 7 p.m. The novel is the sixth in a

planned series of seven mysteries written by Pasadena writer Naomi

Hirahara, who grew up in Altadena. That city is the home of her

fictional sleuth Mas Arai, an elderly semi-retired gardener, who in the

new book solves the mysterious death of a sportswriter who drops

dead during a baseball game at Dodger Stadium.

Jennifer Ramos, Vroman’s promotional director, says the store’s

book buyer is especially excited about two summer releases: “The

Last Painting of Sara de Vos” by Dominic Smith and “The Sport of

Kings” by C.E. Morgan. Smith’s novel combines the story of Sara de

Vos, a 17th- century Dutch artist, with the tale of a 1950s art historian

who painted a forgery of one of de Vos’ paintings. “The Sport of

Kings,” Morgan’s debut novel, tells the story of thoroughbred horse

owners Henry Forge and his daughter Henrietta, who team with Allmon

Shaughnessy, an ambitious young black man, to breed a Triple

Crown-winning filly.

Numerous authors will be discussing and signing their new books

at Vroman’s this summer. Journalist Sebastian Junger, best known

for his book “The Perfect Storm” and his documentary films about

the war in Afghanistan, will preview “Tribe: On Homecoming and

Belonging” at noon on June 5. Best-selling science writer Mary Roach

will talk about “Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War” at a

ticketed event to be held at All Saints Church on June 17 at 7 p.m.

Among the other authors set to appear at Vroman’s are Justin

Cronin, “City of Mirrors” (June 5 at 4 p.m.); Emma Straub, “Modern

Lovers” (June 6 at 7p.m.); Susan Branch, “Martha’s Vineyard, Isle

of Dreams,” the second book in a three-part memoir (June 8 at 6:30

p.m.); actor and chef Freddie Prinze Jr., “Back to the Kitchen” (June 11

at 3 p.m.); Janet Evanovich, “The Pursuit” (signing only, June 22 at 7

p.m.) and Don Miguel Ruiz Jr., “Mastery of Self” (July 20 at 7 p.m.). ■

A

STYLE

All Its

Own

IN ADDITION TO BEING BLESSED WITH MARVELOUS WEATHER AND AN

ABUNDANCE OF CULTURAL AND THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS, PASADE-

NA RESIDENTS ARE ALSO FORTUNATE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE FINEST

LOCAL CLOTHIERS ADEPT AT KEEPING PACE WITH THE LATEST IN RETAIL

CLOTHING SALES.

PASADENA SHOPS AND BOUTIQUES SHOWCASE

THE LATEST SUMMER FASHIONS


Every season, Pasadena’s fine shops and boutiques present the best and

brightest of summer fashion. Beyond trendy, these magnificent shops are truly

trend-setting, with an eclectic offering that ranges from formal and sophisticated

to casual and funky.

Take advantage of early-season opportunities to stock up on warm-weather

staples, such as tanks and shorts, as well as the much sought-after flowing

and floaty sundresses in both maxi and mini style. This summer, as in spring,

expect designer collections in a variety of vibrant hues and patterns. Rompers,

boy’s shorts and cropped-tops are in demand for casual wear, as are pencil

skirts that can be layered or worn with structured or loose-fitting wraps and

transition well into a sophisticated evening look.

Bold geometric designs in blocky prints continue to trend, along with

dresses and tops in asymmetrical cuts. Cultivating a relationship with sales

staff at favorite shops to stay abreast of new arrivals and upcoming clearances

is always a smart idea, since many in-demand items can be found for a fraction

of the price when purchased on specific sale days. These items go quickly,

however, so be prepared to act promptly and decisively.

statement all its own. It’s a singular style that is, at times, jaunty and

carefree, yet still possesses a sense of refinement and grace. Whether

dressing for a lazy day at a fun-filled backyard barbeque or a night on

the town, Pasadena’s charming boutiques and shops are quite simply a

reflection of the diverse and cultivated citizenry they serve so well. ■
