The Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area consists of 1,310 acres and<br />
was opened in December 1963. The Punchbowl is a deep<br />
canyon cut by the runoff of large quantities of water from the<br />
higher San Gabriel Mountains occuring over a long period of time, exposing a conglomerate sandstone syncline. These<br />
mountain peaks above the park are 8,000 feet in elevation while the Nature Center is located at 4,740 feet above sea<br />
level. The Nature Center has many live and static displays and naturalists are on duty from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. to answer<br />
any questions about the Devil’s Punchbowl and its wildlife.<br />
