Peaks Perspective

The View If you attend FSHA, La Canada High School, St.Francis, or one of the other millions of schools in La Canada, then you might be familiar with this spot.  However, if you aren't, getting there is a challenge. You're going to want to follow Linda Vista and you'll see plenty of signs pointing to "Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy". After a few minutes of traveling through the windy roads in the mountains of Flintridge, but before you get to FSHA, you'll notice a fenced off area to your left. If you park there and walk around the area fenced off, you'll be welcomed by an abandoned foundation with empty water bottles, skate ramps, and red solo cups spread all over the place. This viewpoint looks over all of the Pasadena area including the Rose Bowl and Old town.

As you drive North on the 110 freeway, you may notice a cute sign that clearly reads "SOUTH PASADENA". However, something people usually don't know is that you can actually sit on the sign and overlook the South Pasadena Skate Park! To get to this viewpoint you're going to want to drive down Arroyo Drive until you see a 2 feet tall wall. Once there, park and enjoy the view! This viewpoint has benches and lights so you can even come for a midnight read. If you decide to come here after dark, sitting on the wall and watching as cars zoom by is delightful as cool gusts of wind  flow past you. With that being said, be sure to bring a sweater!  Nothing beats this view in South Pasadena, there's nothing better than sitting above a huge sign representing your city and talking with your friends. 653 Arroyo Drive, South Pasadena, CA 91030, USA 

Sunrise From "Fluff" This viewpoint, also known as "Fluff" is relevantly well known in the South Pasadena community. After hearing a lot about "Fluff", we decided to give it a go, and what we found was astounding. Not only is this a stunning viewpoint, it's extremely secluded so you will definitely be the only person there. However, you will need to climb over a wall so bringing a date here for a "hook up" may be difficult. This viewpoint is located on top of a huge cylindrical water reservoir. The seclusion and the location of the viewpoint - both mentioned before - add to both the relaxing and exciting factors of the viewpoint. If you live in South Pasadena, or maybe one of the many surrounding cities, we definitely recommend you visit this viewpoint at least once, We assure you, you will not be disappointed. 854 Glen Place, South Pasadena, CA 91030, USA
