If you love the natural environment of the San Gabriel mountains and are in awe of the complex history of the Pasadena area, with its quirky mix of artists, scientists, catastrophe survivors, collectors, and livers on the fringe, Zorthian Ranch will intoxicate you. Special thanks to Megan for an expert massage with very little notice. Advice to future guests: stock up on supplies before your first trip up the road, and do not plan on driving it at night after partying.
