Take date night outdoors with one of the many evening hikes that let you explore the landmarks one trail at a time. The Orchard Hills Evening Hike explores the Orchard Hills Loop trail as it meanders around an avocado orchard on the edge of the Irvine Ranch Open Space Preserve. You and your loved one can take in the sights, as this hike provides fantastic ridge-top views of Irvine and the Pacific Coastline. Another evening hike to enjoy together is the After Work Fitness Hike on Paved Hicks Haul Road.

Want to share your love for the outdoors and still have a romantic date night? Get the best of both worlds this Valentine’s Day with the Thursday Morning Trek through Baker Canyon or the Fitness Hike at James Dilley Preserve on February 14. Hikers will have the opportunity to spend their morning outdoors and still make their dinner reservation in the evening.
Now that winter is nearing its end, you can catch local wildlife looking for love on the Landmarks. The Bird Walk at San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary is a great way to learn about the wonderful world of birds and the resident bird species of the Irvine Ranch Open Space. For those looking to share their love of the outdoors with friends and family, explore self-guided trail access during the many Wilderness Access Days, where you can enjoy an outdoor adventure in Bommer Canyon or Black Star Canyon.
