From ceremonies to parades, there's something for everyone to pay tribute to our heroes. Let's honor our heroes, cherish our community and create memories that will last a lifetime.

La Cañada Flintridge Announces New Sister Cities Trail

The City of La Cañada Flintridge is pleased to announce the completion of its approximately 1,600-foot-long Sister Cites Friendship Path, funded by the Region al Park and Open Space District (RPOSD).

The City found that the existing Descanso Trail entrance into Cherry Canyon was difficult for trail users to traverse due to its 15% slope, and identified an alternative route at a more manageable slope of approximately 8%. This new route has now been converted into an approximately 1,600-foot-long path and named Sister Cites Friendship Path in honor of the relationship with LCF’s sister city, Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain.

The Trails Council is currently working on a map for the trail. Once it is complete it will be shared on the City’s platforms. For more information on trails in La Cañada Flintridge, please visit LCFtrails.org.
