サンタアナ山脈のおすすめランニングルート

The Borrego Canyon Trail winds through oak woodlands and past creeks. The trail is somewhat challenging and will eventually take you to some dramatic red‐rock.

There is a large parking area across the highway from the trailhead with a general goods store, campground, and bathrooms. From here you can hike up into Bear Canyon and enjoy views of the nearby peaks.

The trail ends in a unique, smooth, red rock canyon that feels more like Arizona than Orange County. This feels like a fantastic wilderness getaway despite being not far from town.

Bedford Peak is just 250 feet west of this junction and a short walk. You might have to dismount and push your bike. Bedford Peak is right on the border of Riverside and Orange Counties. It is at an elevation of 3,800 ft. From the top, there are good views of Santiago Peak and Silverado Canyon, with the ocean and Catalina in the distance.

The trail is wide packed dirt with splendid views of the nearby hills and the upper reservoir. There is a bench and an informative signpost at the end of the Cactus Point which describes the role of the reservoir in drought prevention.

This reservoir was built in 1968 and serves as a local water source. The paved loop trail around it is a beautiful spot and has some great birdwatching opportunities. There is no parking lot for the reservoir, so parking along nearby residential streets or at Oak Canyon is your best option. There is an entrance ramp and stairway to the trail along Laketop Drive. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but must be leashed.

The Oak Canyon Nature Center is a small but very pleasant natural space where you can explore oak woodland, streams, and coastal scrub. It loops around about 4 miles (6.44 kilometers) of very nicely designed trails that easily connect to one another.

This part of the trail switchbacks through the canyon foothills and grants fantastic views into Weir Canyon proper. The trail is a wide packed dirt road with other doubletrack connector trails.
