Overview:
Nestled in the Etiwanda foothills is The Etiwanda Falls hike. Part of the North Etiwanda Preserve, it is a nice out and back hike suitable for the whole family. After going out and back head west from the trail and continue the rest of the preserve hike. 3.22 miles more. Or make it a REAL hike and add the Day Creek Gauging Station on the northwest corner of the preserve. Lots of great scenery and photo oppritunities. There are also many informational markers along the way to explain the significance of this area in its roll of water supply to the Inland Empire.
Tips:
To make the hike longer and more photogenic, you can follow the NEP loop hike to the guaging station in Day Canyon.
It's a simple hike straight back to the falls. Managable for kids, but bring lots of water and cover, since the paths are very open. Visited on Oct 29, 2011
I stopped at the North Etiwanda Preserve to hike to the waterfall and it was a good hike. The waterfalls were running quite nicely, and I was able to get some great photos and video. There were a lot of people here for a Monday, but it was Presidents' Day so there were some people off work. Visited on Feb 21, 2011
