サンタアナ山脈でののおすすめグラベルライド

The Santa Ana River is almost 100 miles long. The headwaters are from the San Bernardino Mountains and ends at the coast near Huntington Beach.

This is the intersection of five trails: Raptor Ridge Trail, North Ridge Trail, Bovinian Delight Trail or Telegraph Canyon Road. There are also some boards with information about the trails and a restroom.

You can explore a variety of singletrack and wide gravel paths through the park. Some trails are shaded while others take you out above the canyon with vistas of Orange County. There are restrooms, picnic tables, and camping available. The park charges a $3 fee.

The Arroyo Trabuco Trail crosses the Trabuco Creek here (and a good number of times along the route). Depending on the season and conditions, you may well find that bombing through is not an option, so just be prepared for some wet feet.

The Mathis Canyon Trail is a tough climb in the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park. There are a couple rolling sections to catch your breath, but be prepared for a tough (but fun) ride.

Santiago Canyon Road is a scenic favorite for road cyclists in Orange County. It’s a long, winding stretch with rolling hills, light traffic, and wide shoulders in most parts. The views of open hills and oak trees make the climb worth it, and you’ll find classic stops along the way for a break.

Cook’s Corner is a classic stop for cyclists riding through Santiago Canyon and one of the most popular biker hangouts in Southern California. It’s casual and bike-friendly, with shaded picnic tables and plenty of space to park. Grab a burger or a cold drink, rest your legs, and soak in the lively atmosphere—especially on weekends when it’s packed with motorcycles and live music.

Bring plenty of water. There only are water fountains midway in Anaheim.
