La Cienega — Mud Springs — San Dimas.

And on November 12, 1826 Jedediah Strong Smith, trader — trapper — pathfinder, one of the most heroic pioneers of the nation, and the first non-native American to make his way overland to California, camped with his band of trappers near this spot on his way to the Mission San Gabriel.
