The Burkhart Trail goes two miles down beautiful Cooper Canyon from Buckhorn Campground to the top of Little Rock Creek. From there you can go on the 3-mile Rattlesnake Trail to Eagle's Roost on the Angeles Crest Highway, although that trail section is closed now for habitat protection of the mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa), or you can go in the other direction 3 miles to Cloudburst Summit, or you can continue on the Burkhart Trail to the Devil's Punchbowl. This is one of the prettiest little canyons in the San Gabriels and is a nice hike almost any time of the year. And as with the last few gallery pages, I have attempted to show what some of these species look like now in the non-blooming season.
