Bonita Falls

With over 300 miles of trail in 680000 acres of the San Bernardino National Forest, there is much to explore. On a warm Sunday afternoon, we hiked to Bonita Falls and spent some time cooling off in the creek.

Cucamonga Peak via Icehouse Canyon

Located in the San Bernardino National Forest not far from Mt. Baldy is Cucamonga Peak. Sitting at 8859 feet above sea level, with an elevation gain of over 4300 feet from the Icehouse Canyon trailhead, this hike is no joke. But the beauty of Icehouse Canyon and the Cucamonga Wilderness, along with a breathtaking view at the summit made all the hard work, effort, and sore knees totally worth it.
