Time to hit the trails for this beginner backpack at Orange County's largest remaining example of open space and natural seashore. This trek will consist of approximately 3 miles of hiking each day through coastal sage scrub/chaparral and riparian terrain, leading to an ocean view bluff. We will need to pack all water for this trek as there is no water source at the campsite.  Trek is limited to 16 participants.
