With great expectation I looked forward to getting Mr. Shaffer's book, especially after reading a great review of it in the now defunct section of the LA Times called Outdoors...once in my possession, I would be among the cognoscenti of southern California's natural wonders...but alas it is not to be...First, I looked for the 80' three tiered Fish Canyon falls just above Duarte in the San Gabriel's...nothing was to be found...this is one of the most famous and beautiful falls in all of the San Gabriel's...a simple call to any, and I mean ANY ranger the area could have named it...no, nothing...Next, I looked for the well known but unnamed falls just off the Middle fork of Lytle Creek, three actually that include drops between 60' and 80' respectively...again nothing, not one word...both of these spectacular and beautiful falls can be seen in all their grandeur on the NET and at numerous sites...Definitive, hardly...two stars and only because of its beautiful layout...
