The hike involves multiple steep climbs and descents. There is 1500+ feet of accumulated climbing elevation, but it is done at a moderate pace approximately 3 miles per hour. The hike will be led by a trained naturalist from Irvine Ranch Conservancy, so all hikers can participate with confidence. The 4-hour hike begins at 8 a.m., and is open to participants 12 and over (minors must be accompanied by an adult).
