Activity Cards

Discover unique historical tales about the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks as we celebrate different cultures together! Each month, a different culture and celebration will be highlighted, usually with the program presented in multiple languages which will allow for everyone to fully enjoy the beauty of the land.

On this slow paced hike in an oak filled canyon you will hear the story of the Irvine Ranch; from its earliest occupants, through the rancho  period, the acquisition by James Irvine in 1876, and the Irvine family through today. Come prepared with water and a spirit of adventure!
