Description: Group of men and women sitting in Eaton Canyon on Sphinx Ranch in Altadena. The ranch was owned by William Allen (possibly present in the photo), who bought the land in 1878. Eaton Canyon lies nestled in the foothills of these San Gabriel Mountains. Originally called "El Precipicio" by the Spanish settlers because of its steep gorges, it was later named after Judge Benjamin Eaton, who built the first Fair Oaks Ranch House in 1865 not far from Eaton Creek.
