The Arroyo Seco, Spanish for "dry wash," drains the southwestern San Gabriel Mountains and flows through Pasadena to its confluence with the Los Angeles River.
Eight museums are located in or around the arroyo.
For more than a century, its very name evoking more than a stream, it has been a Los Angeles County region overlaying municipalities, eras, and cultures.
The arroyo\'s banks became a transportation corridor of trails, railroads, and highways and an enclave for industrialists and artists.
