From Wikipedia: Etiwanda Falls is a waterfall in North Etiwanta Preserve in Rancho Cucamonga, California. It is fed by East Etiwanda Creek and can be accessed through a short 1.6 mi (2.6 km) hike into a canyon. The approximately 50 ft (15 m) falls were created by two streams that merged and funneled the water into one area. It has three drops, which are about 15 ft (4.6 m), 10 ft (3.0 m), and 25 ft (7.6 m) respectively. Excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Etiwanda Falls, available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
