Fun Facts

The preserve is one of the few places where you can find the endangered Nevin's barberry, a shrub native to Southern California.

The preserve spans approximately 244 acres, offering a vast area for hiking and wildlife observation.

The area is home to a variety of bird species, including the red-tailed hawk and the California quail.

The mountains were named after the Verdugo family, who were granted the land by the Spanish government in the late 18th century.

On a clear day, hikers can enjoy panoramic views stretching from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
