The City of Sierra Madre has a charming village atmosphere and sits at the base of Mt. Wilson in the foothills northeast of Los Angeles, California. The city of 10,800 is set on gentle foothill slopes and the canyon area of steep hillsides and valleys. The Mt. Wilson Trail has been noted since 1840 as a packing and hiking trail which rises from Sierra Madre to the summit of Mt. Wilson eight miles away.
