		Inland from the Pacific Ocean, Los Angeles is bordered on most sides by rugged mountains which provide the only barrier to the continued expansion of its sprawling suburbs.
		The Hills: The San Gabrielhills are not nearly as spectacular as the Sierra Nevadas but they and the surrounding Angeles National Forest do encompass nearly 700,000 acres of quite scenic wilderness and have the advantage of being only a half hour drive from Pasadena and Glendale, at the northern edge of the Los Angeles metropolis.
		Another road into the hills is highway 39 which used to connect with the Crest but it has been closed for many years due to numerous landslides.
