local interest: white city ruins, Altadena

[substitute]

The urban_decay community reveals something I hadn't heard of, the ruins of "White City", a resort north of Altadena in the hills. There's a photo gallery of the site. That sounds like a really cool (if strenuous) hike/photo expedition.

i've been up near there before (but it was like midnight so i couldn't see anything about an actual hike) in the place where the hike must start, which is locally referred to as "the haunted forest". i had no idea about white city! thanks for posting this, as i looked it up to see how exactly to get there (that's how i found out it's up above the haunted forest) and it sounds like it would be really awesome to check out. i found some hike info with some reviews that talk about what people see there: http://www.localhikes.com/Hikes/EchoMountain_4472.asp

Ah, and you're way closer than me so that's an easier day hike. Take pics if you do it before me!
