Experience the Sites and Scenery

Even though Pasadena is situated within one of the largest metro areas in the world, nature is never far when you rent an RV in town. Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area is close by in Irwindale. Here you can see the dam spanning the San Gabriel River and gaze upon the glorious San Gabriel Mountain Range that overlooks the city. There is also ample swimming space, bike trails and a nature center for curious guests, in addition to the Renaissance Pleasure Faire of Southern California that is held at Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area each year. Whittier Narrows Recreation Area is another local park where you can enjoy the outdoors while remaining in the city. The Recreation Area boasts a gun range, bicycle paths and knowledgeable park rangers giving tours in the park’s natural areas.

City Attractions

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The city of Pasadena has so much to do and see that it would be impossible to even approach naming all the attractions. Coupled with its convenient proximity to Los Angeles, it would truly take years to see everything the county has to offer. The Norton Simon Museum is popular for locals and visitors alike as it celebrates and showcases art from all over the world. Named for the industrialist that had an immense appreciation for the arts, Norton Simon Museum has one of the world's largest and most remarkable private collections ever assembled. The Gamble House is a different kind of museum that fosters an appreciation for historic architecture. There are many tours and exhibits available in the house, which is a masterpiece of architectural wonder itself. The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is one of the best science museums in the country, while the the City of Pasadena City Hall is a monumental landmark in its own right. The Rose Bowl is among the most famous venues in the country and hosts many sporting events, concerts, and other massive celebrations. This nationally recognized historical landmark is cherished by Pasadena and serves as one of its most iconic symbols. Don’t forget to check out the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and other attractions in Los Angeles, as they are not far away when you use public transit or drive there in your Pasadena RV rental.</span></p>

We had an awesome 5-night trip in Danny's van/RV. The van was very comfortable and well-equipped -- A/C worked great on our trip through the desert. It was well supplied with linens, kitchen equipment , microwave, and frig. The van was very comfortable to drive, and the various tanks and systems were easy to use. Danny was very responsive with communication, answering all our questions before and during the trip. He was flexible about pickup and dropoff to accommodate our travel schedule. Can't say enough about the van and Danny --- we hope to rent again in the future. Thanks for a great trip!

amazing experience with Fernando the owner of this RV. TLDR version. a few days before our scheduled trip the first RV we rented (not Fernando) called me to tell me he had to cancel our RV reservation. my family and myself were devastated. But Fernando swiped in to Dave the day and my families trip. On short notice Fernando arranged to replace the RV we lost and drove the RV directly to my house. TY from the bottom of my heart. amazing experience. First rate communication from Fernando. We are already thinking of booking this RV again. highly recommend.
