Sierra Madre

Built around Nathaniel Carter’s 1881 townsite at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, Sierra Madre grew into a city incorporated in 1907. The community lies beneath a steep mountain front, where canyon routes rise toward Angeles National Forest and Mount Wilson. Its annual Wistaria Festival celebrates the celebrated Chinese wisteria vine that has become a local landmark. The Mount Wilson Trail begins in Sierra Madre, connecting the city’s residential streets with hiking country in the range.
