San Bernardino sits at the foot of its steep namesake mountains, where the San Andreas fault has pushed up peaks that top 10,000 feet right behind the city. The wash and foothill scrub hold roadrunners, coyotes, and California quail, and the mountains just above town climb into pine forest with black bears, mule deer, and Steller’s jays. Red-tailed hawks and the occasional golden eagle work the slopes.
