Photograph of Santa Anita Creek flowing through the canyon and towards the camera. The creek flows towards the camera at center. It narrows as it stretches into the distance. The creek flows over rocks and between trees. Low rock walls line both sides of the creek. A trail runs up and alongside the creek at left. A tree branch spans the creek in the near distance. It stretches between the 2 rock walls on either side of the creek.
Text from negative sleeve: 1223. Santa Anita Canyon, about 1935. Gene Velzy had a cabin up in the canyon and Glen Velzy and I went up, with some other fellows to open the trout season. It was the spring after the big flood in the canyon. We had to hike in from below the dam. 1. The Santa Anita canyon dam from the trail above it. 2. A resort. Can't tell now whether First Water or Hoegee Camp. 3. The stream in the canyon. The flood ma [sic] made a new channel and it ran right thru the trees. 4. A dandy pool in the big rocks. It's [sic] size may be judged from the size of the man fishing off the rock on the right side. He is sitting down. 4 films
