Devil's Punchbowl, Regional park in Los Angeles County, California.
The Devils Punchbowl features sandstone formations rising 300 feet above the desert floor on the northern slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains.
The rock layers formed through water deposits millions of years ago and were tilted by pressure from the Punchbowl, Pinyon, and San Andreas Faults.
The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation operates a nature center offering educational programs about local flora, fauna, and geological features.
A one-mile loop trail from the nature center leads visitors through the geological formations, with multiple points to explore the central creek.
The park combines desert and mountain ecosystems, creating a habitat where gray foxes, deer, and occasional bighorn sheep roam the terrain.
