This spacious, open-beamed redwood building is surrounded by a deck from which visitors can experience panoramic views of the mountains and the valley below. A favorite of visitors is the southern portion of the deck which features a fully accessible bird viewing area that was designed with the help of the Audubon Society.
Grassy Hollow features an Information Desk and Gift Shop with books, firewood, ice, drinks, snacks & souvenirs. The Center offers the visitor an engaging atmosphere in which to learn about the history of the San Gabriel Mountains including skiing, gold panning, and more.
