Enjoy a tour of Hahamongna Watershed park, a large green space located just north of Pasadena, right below the Angeles National Forest on native land of the Tongva. Named after the Hahamog'na, the local Tongva band,  the Hahamongna Watershed is a great place to reconnect to nature. It's just one of the hikes featured in Wild L.A., NHM's guide to the natural world in and around Los Angeles.
