Day Trips Around the Inland Empire
May 13, 2010
I was reminded yesterday about the great scenery to be found in our two county area known as the Inland Empire. The Press-Enterprise had an article in their May 12 newspaper that was entitled "Winter recharges natural wonders." The article cited the many waterfalls that can be found in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Because we had "decent rain and snowfall" this winter, these falls are worth a trip to view the cascading water. The two tallest waterfalls in Southern California are located in San Bernardino County. The Big Falls in Forest Falls at more than 600 feet and Bonita Falls at almost 400 feet located in the Lytle Creek area.
Other falls that are presently flowing with water include:
Heart Rock Falls -22 feet of falling water with a heart shaped rock crevice located in the Valley of Enchantment near Crestline
Tahquitz Falls, a 60 foot falls located on a Native American sacred site in the Palm Springs area
The Seven Sisters which is only a 10 foot falls adjacent to a number of stone pools and it is also located near Palm Springs.
If you do decide to visit these wonderful natural sites, remember to be careful as the rocks can be slippery and it is probably best to view them from a bit of a distance.
