 Geological Overview of the San Gabriel Mountains   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
To the west, the San Gabriel Mountains lie next to the Castaic Block, which shares a common basement adjacent to the range, and to the southwest, south of the San Gabriel fault, the geology is that of the Ventura Basin in the western Transverse Ranges.
The basement complex of the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Glendora and northwest of San Dimas Canyon is cut by numerous dikes of andesitic porphyry (Dibblee, 1982g) that trend northeasterly.
As the San Gabriel fault enters the San Gabriel Mountains, its trend becomes east-westerly, and the trace of the fault, which continues until it is terminated by the San Jacinto fault zone, is frequently the locus of fault-subsequent valleys.

San Antonio, the dominating peak, rises towards the eastern extremity of the range to a height of about six thousand feet, forming a sure landmark throughout the valley and all the way down to the coast, without, however, possessing much striking individuality.
