  Eaton Canyon Nature Center 1750 N Altadena Dr, Pasadena, CA 91107  https://goo.gl/maps/5jWQZH6Hd6z112uD7   Hike: Easy, 3 Miles round trip, just a bit rocky along the creek area. Note: Reservation Required. Go to Eaton Canyon site to register and book for an entry timed around 8 am, 11am, and  2pm.  You can check their video on how to register and book. Reservation is FREE . September 4, 2020 Went to Eaton canyon for the long weekend and was hoping not to get heatstroke with temp going as high as 105F during this weekend. It was pretty OK since we went quite early at 8 am and this was an easy hike of around 3Miles (round trip) which took us around less than 1.5 Hours. The trail going there was pretty much open until you reach the bridge (you actually have to go under the bridge and follow the path of the creek towards the falls), and then it's pretty shaded but this is only around 25% of the route, wish it was a bit longer. The Falls itself was pretty small. Probably, because it

Tried a few of them and not sure if it was choices we made (though most of it were recommended), but didn't like it, not even their best sellers.

Foam was a bit too thick than I wanted, not even any pretty art. Kinda waste of money. Place has interesting mural though.

Tried the Pine Nuts Yellow Croaker (whole Fish) interesting as it was kinda crunchy/crispy so I liked it It was with Sweet and source sauce Bokchoy Sprouts with Bean curd The bean curd was cut like some noodles. Food was slightly bland but good. Shanghai Thick Chow Mien This was very "Chinese" for me.. with thick and very filling kind of noodle. Not my thing though but it was good.

Room is huge and clean - very "boutique-y", kinda trying to look a bit old / vintage with some paintings and copper/ bronzed faucets. Downside: I was put on the 3rd floor (1/30/2018) in the corner and it was really quite noisy. I could hear the cars honking etc.
