Johnson's Pasture is a 183-acre piece of land in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mts north of Claremont. It was purchased in 2007 by the city of Claremont to protect it from any future development. It is criss-crossed by fire roads and trails that wind around through open fields, rolling hills and oak groves with beautiful views of the valley and mountains. The trailhead for Johnson's Pasture is on Via Santa Catarina, a short street at the end of Mountain Avenue. An upside-down V next to the common name indicates a taxon that was new to me when I photographed it on this hike, and an asterisk indicates a non-native species. Unfortunately, there is a lot of non-native vegetation there, but hopefully in years to come more native plants will appear.
