Altadena

Altadena was originally part of the San Gabriel Mission lands; later part of Don Garfias' Rancho San Pascual (Holy Easter Ranch) on which Californianos camped out during the last battle of the "Californian-American War." Later a group of investors wanted to develop and subdivide the area now known as Altadena, as an upscale rival to Pasadena, hence the name Alta - upper, above, better than - DENA from – Pasadena. These speculators eventually went bust; which gives Altadena its charming eclectic mix of mansions with tiny to huge lots, some surrounded by tiny bungalows; subdivisions behind subdivisions; hill side homes; and even equestrian zoned regions; it's quit a mix. The foothills and mountains bordering on the north (Angeles National Forest) boast mountain lion, bear, deer, big horn sheep and other wildlife. The naturalist, John Muir, reportedly was quite impressed with our mountains. There are even ruins from a mountain railway, and resorts from the late 1800's now accessible by hiking and horse trails. Altadena does have Christmas Tree Lane, that and much much more.
