Shark Valley empties into Shark River in the Ten Thousand Islands of Monroe County.

Description

Kill 'Em Quick is a trail in San Gabriel Mountains near Sunland-Tujunga with a rich history. The trail was cut by detainees housed at a juvenile probation camp. The camp is now abandoned but there is evidence that time trials of this trail were tracked by those who were there. The trail is difficult with over 1000 feet gain in less than a mile. See the below video that gives a great overview of Kill 'Em Quick:
