Description

This is a relativly easy family hike. This trail is great for training. The trail is well maintained. The scenery is plentiful during the spring when wild flowers are in bloom and the hills are carpeted with fresh vegetation. Stay on the trail at all times as the area is protected by the Irvine Ranch Reserve. The trail begins with a few rolling hills and a small stream crossing (may be dry in summer). At 2.5 miles, the trail comes close to a housing development. At this point, the trail makes a left turn and some hill work. The last 1/2 mile is a downhill walk back to your car on Avenida de Santiago (Street).
