Take a break and get some fresh air! Join us on a mid week hike through Quail Hill. This program is for those that just want to get out and hike the stresses of the week away. Enjoy the views and a little quiet time in Irvine’s beautiful Southern Preserve. Several singletrack trails, steep climbs and descents are part of the experience, over 2700 ft. of climbing elevation accumulated along the route, but it is done with a moderate pace, approx. 3 mph.

Distance is 10-12 miles. Bring plenty of water (48 oz. minimum) and wear comfortable, sturdy shoes. All participants must carry their own water! Please come prepared with a pack, sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes or boots, sunscreen, first aid, and all other supplies to keep you safe and healthy on the trail for the half-day of being out in the wilderness area. Under-prepared participants may be denied access to the event!

Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Program may be cancelled or shortened due to adverse weather conditions.

CANCELLED – Spring is fast approaching and what better time to search for all things green than on St. Patrick’s Day! Take an easy-paced stroll through the bottom of Buck Gully to explore the lush green plants that call this canyon home. Our trip will take us on a 3.5-mile round trip hike in the morning, so please wear layered clothes to adjust as the day warms up.

PLEASE NOTE: Poison oak grows in abundance throughout the entire Buck Gully Reserve trail system. If you are susceptible to poison oak, please plan accordingly.
