    The Forest falls are situated in Forest FallCity in the mountains of San Bernardino, Ca.

    The falls descend from the San Gorgonio

    Wilderness area which is the highest point of

    the San Bernardino Mountains over to the

    northern edge of the canyon of Mill Creek.

    Forest falls are surrounded by basement

    rocks that are characteristic of San

    Bernardino Mountains. The most common

    type of rocks in this area is: paleoproterozoicgneiss, neoproterozoic to paleozoic marble

    and quartzite, and late cretaceous granitic

    rocks. There is also a minor amount of

    marble and quartize.

    The majority of the source of precipitation ofForest Falls is from winter months,

    frequently in the form of snow.

    The amount of snow received during wintermonths largely depends on the area of Forest

    Falls under consideration.

    Cajun Pass is a Mountain Pass betweenthe San Bernardino and San Gabriel

    Mountains. The Cajun Pass was created

    y the movements of San Andreas Fault.

    Originally its elevation was about 3,829 ft

    (1,167m) but railroad improvements in

    1972 reduced it to 3,777 (1,151m)

    Cajun Pass is notorious for its wind

    hazards. In gusty conditions is very

    difficult to travel and navigate to it as the

    Santa Ana Winds usually push through;

    in this area these winds can reach gale-

    force strength.

    Occasionally the Cajun Pass gets snowsometimes enough to close the pass

    temporary.
