Women's Hike to Etiwanda Falls

* ***THIS IS A WOMEN-IDENTIFYING-ONLY TRIP****

For this adventure, we will be heading to a waterfall we have barely explored called Etiwanda Falls! The Etiwanda Falls Trail hike feels like you're a world away from the nearby LA suburbs. Starting in North Etiwanda Preserve, you gently hike up through the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains, with glimpses of the prominent mountain peaks along the way. After a short 1.6 miles, you'll reach Etiwanda Falls, tucked into a shady canyon. The trail is easy to follow, the workout is good, and the scenery is beautiful.

E (Easy) - Suitable for anyone who enjoys walking and is a beginner at hiking. Mostly level or with slight incline. Generally less than 4 miles.
