Foothills

The Foothills are groups of hills that are located along and around San Gabriel Valley in Los Angeles County, California. The Foothills basically stretch along the path of Interstate 210, giving the 210 the name "Foothill Freeway".

The City of Glendora (a foothill community) pride's itself from being a Foothill Community with the city motto being "Pride of the Foothills." This should help give a relative location of the Foothills.

The Foothills basic mass transit system is a bus system called "Foothill Transit". The Foothills will be receiving a new form of mass transit in about 10 years---The Metro Gold Line. The Metro Gold Line is actually functioning today, but it only serves a route from Los Angeles to Pasadena. The new extension that will serve the Foothills is dubbed “Foothill Extension”.

Although The Foothills look nice after some rain, they are sometimes dangerous to live in or around because of wildfires. Southern California’s Mediterranean climate promotes wildfires, with some plant species needing the fires to survive.
