Location

Right near the trailhead of Sycamore Canyon Trail in Whittier, just about bordering the expansive Rose Hills Memorial Park (cemetery) to the north.

Participants

LB-FT (talk)

Plans

The point is located in the parking area serving the start point of a hiking trail, how convenient! I don't think I'll have time to explore the trail itself today, however.

Expedition

I drove to the destination but found the gates about 100 meters away from the point closed and locked for the day, presumably at 6:00 p.m. as the signage said. I didn't expect there to be a gate since the aerial map of the place seemed to imply that the trail parking area also allowed access for adjacent homes.

Anyways I parked streetside nearby and walked to the gate as close to the point as I could reach and snapped a few photos. During the short walk from car to gate, I found 3 quarters on the dirt "sidewalk" and then another quarter (with a small chunk sheared off) that I missed the first time, when I came back to the spot after realizing I could take a picture to accompany my little story on here.
