6-Day Forecast Sierra Madre, Ca.

The residents of Sierra 
Madre and all lovers of our 
San Gabriel Mountains are 
invited to congregate at 
Lizzie’s Trail Inn and the 
adjacent Mount Wilson Trail 
Park on Saturday, June 2, 
from 10 a.m. to noon. We 
will be celebrating the life 
and achievements of John 
W. Robinson, educator, 
historian and author, who 
passed away on April 24. 

 Just as the Red Car and 
mountain resorts boosted 
our community from the 
1890s through 1950, John 
was responsible for many of 
the nature-loving hikers and 
campers passing through 
our foothill community. His 
many books and his participation in Dr. White’s Hikes into History brought an 
awakening among a wide group of Southern Californians regarding our own 
treasure of the Sierra Madre—our mountains. 

 Bring your stories of John Robinson and meet with friends and fellow lovers of 
the best “backyard” in the San Gabriel Valley! There will be speakers, videos and 
displays. Docents will be at Lizzie’s, and water and lemonade will be available. 
The event is coordinated by Dr. Bill White with generous support of the Sierra 
Madre Historical Preservation Society, the City of Sierra Madre, the Los Angeles 
Corral of the Westerners, and the Big Santa Anita Historical Society. 

 

 For more details, contact Leslie Ziff, president, Sierra Madre Historical 
Preservation Society at (626) 321-7735.
