USFS Angeles National Forest Baldy Bowl Trail page, checked Aug 2026 — states the falls are 0.5 mi from the Manker Flat trailhead (used to derive 1.0 mi RT); no height figure given on this page (commonly cited elsewhere as ~75 ft, not confirmed here). Checked for the seasonal Mt. Baldy winter-storm trail closures in effect earlier in 2026 (Feb 27–Mar 20); that closure had already lifted and did not name this trail specifically.
Checked August 2026.
