Pasadena: Pasadena Council District 4: Mt. Wilson West
Mount Wilson straddles a ridge in the San Gabriel Mountains of Angeles National Forest, and its high, open position made it a major centre for astronomy and communications. At 1,740 metres, the summit rises above the Los Angeles Basin amid conifer woodland and deeply cut mountain valleys. Mount Wilson Observatory was founded in 1904; its 100-inch Hooker telescope, completed in 1917, was used by Edwin Hubble for observations that helped transform modern astronomy. The mountain’s broadcast towers remain an important part of Southern California’s infrastructure, while the surrounding forest forms part of the protected range north of Los Angeles.

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.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
