Pasadena sits at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California, where the Arroyo Seco runs south from the mountain front toward the Los Angeles Basin. The city is closely associated with the Tournament of Roses, whose New Year’s Day Rose Parade began here in 1890; the Rose Bowl stadium also hosts the annual Rose Bowl Game. California Institute of Technology gives Pasadena an international scientific profile, while Old Pasadena preserves historic commercial blocks around Colorado Boulevard. The 1927 Pasadena City Hall, with its domed tower, is among the city’s most recognizable civic landmarks. See how Pasadena connects with the wider Los Angeles area by browsing webcams nearby.
