Description

Photograph of close-up of Maiden Hair Falls in Rubio Canyon, a source of water for Altadena, upstream of Rubio Pavilion, on Echo Mountain (near Mount Lowe), [s.d.]. The water rushes so quickly down the fall that it looks like a mist. The fall crashes in front of a rock wall and hits jagged rocks at the bottom. Wooden stairs stand near the top of the wall at left with a wooden beam crossing above the water over head.
