​Grab your shoes, water, and friends and take a hike! National Take a Hike Day is on Sunday, November 17. Irvine Ranch Conservancy invites you to celebrate on the spectacular trails of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. With nearly 40,000 acres of open space, the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks offer a variety of trails to explore.
 
Did you know the simple act of taking a hike can have positive benefits for your health? Hiking can help reduce stress and blood pressure, while increasing heart activity. National Take a Hike Day is the perfect opportunity to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax before the busy holiday season.

​Whether you prefer to hike in the morning, afternoon or evening, Irvine Ranch Conservancy and its partners offer many opportunities to hike throughout the week. Be sure to check out Letsgooutside.org for upcoming hiking and fitness activities. 
 
Additionally, there are several Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks sites that are open daily for visitors to enjoy self- guided hikes. 

  • The City of Irvine’s Quail Hill is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a quick nature escape.  Located just off the 405 freeway, it is easy to access and the only hiking trail in the Landmarks that allows dogs on leash.
  • Anyone looking for a longer trek can take self-guided tours through the City of Irvine’s Bommer Canyon. 
  • If you’re looking for a hike with a view, visit Buck Gully Reserve for scenic views of the Newport Coast.
  • Visitors can also experience spectacular coastal and mountain views with a self-guided hike through Laguna Coast Wilderness Park.
Visit the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks for National Take A Hike Day and all throughout the year! Most programs on the Landmarks are free with required pre-registration, which closes at 4 p.m. the day prior to each activity. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. For more information about activities offered on the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks, visit LetsGoOutside.org/activities.
