About the Event
Sturtevant Camp is a hidden gem located above Pasadena and below Mount Wilson (Sturtevantcamp.com). After 130 years, it is still accessible only by boot (hiking), welcoming hikers to a collection of rustic buildings including the 1897 Lodge. In 2020, the Camp survived the Bobcat fire, losing one of four cabins and most of its water system.
Since then, the Conservancy has been working to rebuild the water system, repair other fire-related damages, and reclaim the public trails devastated by the rains after the fire. The surrounding Big Santa Anita Canyon remains closed by the U.S. Forest Service to the public until it is rebuilt. California Gay Adventures, Get Out LGBT Hikes & Trailmixer has been invited by the Conservancy to join in preparing the Camp for eventual reopening to the general public.
Volunteers will hike 4.2 miles up the Canyon to the Camp, work for the day, then hike back…
