Bonita Falls, Waterfall in San Bernardino National Forest, California.
Bonita Falls cascades 400 feet through three distinct tiers, with the final drop plunging 160 feet into the lower canyon of Bonita Creek.
The waterfall and surrounding trails emerged as recreational destinations following the establishment of San Bernardino National Forest in the early twentieth century.
Local residents and visitors gather at the base of the falls during summer months to experience outdoor activities and natural water features.
The trailhead requires a National Forest Adventure Pass for parking and involves a 2.6-mile round trip hike with moderate elevation changes.
The waterfall maintains water flow throughout the year, making it the second-highest continuous cascade in Southern California's mountain ranges.
