Eaton Canyon Nature Center is only six miles from The Langham. The center is a 190-acre zoological, botanical, and geological nature preserve situated at the base of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains. Take the Eaton Canyon Falls Trail.

Order a romantic breakfast in bed. Then book a limo or drive to the Eaton Canyon Nature Center parking lot, cross the wash, and continue 1.5 miles up a slight incline to the 50-foot Eaton Falls.  You'll cross the streambed several times, but park instructions indicate that stream crossings are easy most of the year. “Only in the wettest months will this be particularly difficult,” warn park officials. Expect some boulder hopping.

After your wet and wild hike, head back to The Langham's Huntington Spa. Choose a couple’s massage from the Chuan Escape packages.  The spa is voted one of the finest in North America.

Your romantic hiking escape will be even prettier in pink.

Fly in and out of the Burbank Airport, only 16 miles away.
