Enjoy an evening fitness hike through stunning rock formations and fragrant native plants as you listen to the sounds of nature. During the fall, hikers will enjoy wonderful sunset views and a panoramic overview of Orange County.

This hike is done ‘at your own pace’ as a walk, jog or run (speed range typically 2.5 to 3.5 mph) so is suitable for beginners who are just starting their fitness program as well as more experienced hikers who are looking for a workout.

This “out-and-back” hike travels the 3.5 mile route to scenic Loma Ridge (450′ elevation gain) and back down with most participants finishing the route in about 1.5 hours.

Family friendly but children must be closely supervised by an adult and either able to hike with the group or carried by strong adult. Strollers OK but contact office for information first.

The ride will start at the sandy bottom of a wide, deep wash, lush with riparian growth. The trail climbs steadily through coastal sage scrub until it meets the southern end of Limestone Canyon. Riders will have ever changing views of the surrounding hills and the Sinks, a geological point of interest. At the top of our climb, we will find a water trough left from the old cattle days, where the horses can drink and rest. As we continue on, the trail follows Box Spring Canyon where riders have an opportunity to see evidence of Native Americans and a diverse display of wildlife and plant life. After making a small loop, we return by the same route from which we came.

This ride does not have steep climbs, but the grades are steady and continuous. Owners of unshod horses, please note that footing will include areas of gravel. Please bring water on the ride. The staging area is a large pull-through gravel lot with water and restroom facilities. Staging area policy dictates that we clean up after our horses and haul out our manure.
