Big Morongo Canyon Preserve

Nestled among the Little San Bernardino Mountains, the desert oasis at Big Morongo Canyon is one of the 10 largest cottonwood and willow riparian habitats in California.  The upstream end of the canyon lies in the Mojave Desert, while its downstream portion opens into the Colorado Desert. 

The Bureau of Land Management designated Big Morongo Canyon as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern in recognition of its special values. Come explore for yourself the wide variety of wildlife, plants, and education opportunities available at the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve.
