For anyone looking to travel into the Angeles National Forest near Arcadia, be aware that the Forest Service station will be temporarily closed while the agency builds a new office nearby.

The current office, located at 701 N. Santa Anita Avenue just off the 210, was a good place to snag an Adventure Pass before heading up into Santa Anita Canyon, but hikers can still purchase the legal-until-further-notice passes at the Adams’ Pack Station at the end of Santa Anita Avenue as well. Passes can also be bought at the Arcadia Sport Chalet on 400 S. Baldwin Ave.
