Legg Lake (Short)

Distance: 41 miles and 1500 feet of elevation gain (mapping software)

All three routes are somewhat similar today. This short stays with the long and the medium for the first 15 miles as they head south to Monterey Park. Here this short splits off. While the long and medium continue south and then return to Whittier Narrows on the San Gabriel River, this short cuts directly over to Whittier Narrows. Here it joins the long and medium for lunch. After lunch, this short joins the medium for the return. They return to Whittier Narrows and circle Legg Lake. After this, they return north to the start by a fairly direct route. Like the other routes, there are not a lot of hills and much of the total elevation gain is in long gentle grade heading back to Pasadena.
