You can find relief there, too, in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Then President Barack Obama speaks at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas as he designates nearly 350,000 acres within the San Gabriel Mountains, background, a national monument on Oct. 10, 2014. “Over 15 million people live within 90 minutes of the San Gabriel Mountains,” said Obama. On the list, and on the chopping block for now, are California’s Berryessa Snow Mountain, Carrizo Plain, Giant Sequoia, Mojave Trails and San Gabriel Mountains. You can learn more about those efforts at San Gabriel Mountains Forever, or sangabrielmountains.org.
