The Fish Canyon Falls hike is now accessible, on a limited basis, via a free shuttle provided by Vulcan Materials on April 26th, May 3, 10, and 17th, 2008. For more information see the Pasadena Star News article "Access trail to be open to public through next month." (April 19, 2008)
One of the hikers interviewed in the article indicated that he had taken his dog. But we recommend calling ahead to confirm whether dogs are allowed on the shuttle.
