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.

on the lake having an optimum
retainable water level; its deepest water
is about 72ft (22m).
The water source of big Bear Lakecomes from snow which makes it a snow
fed lake, because of its elevation it
receives about 72in of winter snow everyyear.

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.
