1926 From S property edge looking North from NW to NE - Harold Parker panoramic photograph

Beginning at left we see the San Gabriel range and its western edge diving into the Arroyo Seco.  The sparsely housed alluvial fan of Altadena shows the rural atmosphere the course was rooted within.  Professor Thadeus Lowe's famous incline railway can be seen in the mountains left center as a stripe running up the side of Echo Mountain, the top of which had a destination hotel and zoo and Alpine Village.
