Patriot Trail to Flag Hill (San Juan Capistrano Hike)

Ashley and I recently had a fun day hike in Orange County by hiking the Las Ramblas Trail and the Patriot Trail, to Flag Hill in the City of San Juan Capistrano's open space preserve. Flag Hill in San Juan Capistrano is the spot where an American Flag flies on the set of rolling hills overlooking the City of San Juan Capistrano . This is a fun short-day hike in Orange County that offers amazing views of Orange County to those hiking here. This hike in Southern California is well worth the trip and you have a great chance to see wildlife as well! Directions to Trailhead : To get to the trailhead to Hike to Flag Hill, take the 5 freeway heading south towards San Juan Capistrano. You are going to exit the freeway at the exit for Pacific Coast Highway/Camino Las Ramblas. Make a left turn onto Camino Las Ramblas and follow this street until it dead ends. The trailhead begins when Camino Las Ramblas dead ends. There is plenty of parking at the trailhead and there is n...

Turtle Rock Hike (Irvine)

Last weekend Ashley and I got the chance to go hiking in the Turtle Rock area of Irvine. Turtle Rock is a great hiking area that offers great views of the surrounding hills and Orange County. We both are classifying this hike as an urban hike, so for those that are looking for a true wilderness feel this hike in Irvine is probably not for you. However, the Turtle Rock hike in Irvine does have enough wilderness to it that most hikers will have a great time. Furthermore, it is very close to the 20,000 acre South Coast Wilderness . Directions to Trailhead : The trailhead to hike at Turtle Rock in Irvine is at Chaparral Park, 19032 Turtle Rock Drive. To get to the Turtle Rock Trailhead coming from the 405 going north, exit onto University Drive and make a left. Upon Reaching Culver, make another left. Make a left onto Campus drive, then a right onto Turtle Rock Drive. Proceed On turtle Rock drive for a little while until you see Chaparral Park on your left. Ma...

Hiking Trails In The Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve

The Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve contains a series of hiking trails in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains just above Monrovia proper. There are approximately 4.5 miles of hiking trails in the Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve. It is hilly terrain, so any hike here will have its ups and downs.... literally. The hike we did was a short out-and-back hike from the Ridgeside Drive Trailhead to the lookout point. This was a fun easy-to-moderate hike in the lower foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. There were great views along the way and plenty of evidence of wildlife who inhabit this area. The only downside is the Ridgeside Drive Trailhead is difficult to find from the road and signage for the hiking trails in the Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve is limited. Directions to Ridgeside Drive Trailhead : To get to the trailhead to hike to the viewpoint in the Monrovia Hillside Wilderness Preserve, from the 210 freeway, exit M...
