Bonnie Bell is an unincorporated community in Riverside County, California, United States.
[2] The transition point from the San Gorgonio Pass to the Coachella Valley is one of the windiest locations in the United States.
Beginning in the 1980s the San Gorgonio Pass wind farm started being developed.
In 1992 the residents successfully lobbied the Bureau of Land Management, and Mesa Wind Developers, to move 24 wind turbines from the eastern edge of the company's right-of-way, further back into the San Bernardino Mountains.
[3] In 1999, and again in 2019, new proposals to install wind turbines on the ridges of Whitewater Canyon, above Bonnie Bell, were submitted for consideration.
