Starting on the Fourth of July, visitors who hike the Big Falls Trail in San Bernardino National Forest will only be allowed to hike to a waterfall overlook. Off-trail areas beyond the railing will be closed because of safety concerns.
Search and rescue teams are so frequent in the area surrounding one of Southern California’s tallest waterfalls that one particular rock has become known to locals as “Blood Rock.”
“There have been too many search and rescues in this area in the past,” Joe Rechsteiner, the district ranger for the Front Country Ranger District, said in a statement. “We want to make sure the public enjoys this beautiful spot while staying safe. Some of the rocks in Falls Creek are deceivingly slippery.”Anyone considering sneaking into the prohibited area should take heed: Individuals can be fined up to $5,000 for violating the forest’s order.
