Description

I found the fences and tumbleweed at Devil's Punchbowl, elevation 4,750 ft (1450 m), is a tilted sandstone formation on the northern slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains, in Los Angeles County, California.

A tumbleweed is a structural part of the above-ground anatomy of a number of species of plants, a diaspore that, once it is mature and dry, detaches from its root or stem, and rolls due to the force of the wind. In most such species, the tumbleweed is in effect the entire plant apart from the root system, but in other plants, a hollow fruit or an inflorescence might serve the function. Tumbleweed species occur most commonly in steppe and arid ecosystems, where frequent wind and the open environment permit rolling without prohibitive obstruction.

The Devils Punchbowl Natural Area is a Los Angeles County park; also within the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and Angeles National Forest. It is located south of the Pearblossom Highway (CA Route 138); near the towns of Littlerock and Pearblossom.; The Devil's Punchbowl Nature Center is operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation. The center focuses on the flora; fauna; and geological features of the park; and the center offers school programs; parties; guided park tours; as well as telescope programs with an 11-inch telescope.

The Trail is within the park showcase the geologic features along the Punchbowl Formation and San Andreas Fault. There are connections to major longer trails leading to the high country in the National Monument.
