The days are getting longer (Daylight Savings Time begins on March 13), giving Orange Countians more time to enjoy the outdoors, including the breathtaking backcountry of OC.
Each Wednesday during the Spring, Summer and Fall, the Irvine Ranch Conservancy sponsors after work fitness hikes along Hicks Haul Road – a 3.5 mile trek to the top of Loma Ridge and back that affords great views of the county and beautiful sunset vistas.
The hike pace averages 3 to 3.5 miles an hour, but participants can slow down or speed up depending on their comfort level. Most finish in about an hour.
The hikes take place between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. at the Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve. Click here to register, and here for information on the hike itself (what to bring, what to expect, etc.).
