| Hike Summary: | This Wilderness Park boasts more than 1500 acres of canyons, scenic rock formations and grassy rolling hills. Today's route will begin up Serrano for a one mile warm up. Then at the fork we head up right to Sherrano Cow Trail on the way we might see some deer as well! Then we move up on gentle whiting Rd upto the four square. We will take a short break here with beautiful views of the mountans and vista arround! Then move up toward Dreaded hill again on very gentle slope. At the top we will have beautiful views of Catalina, City of Irvine etc. We will come down on dreaded hill back to shady Serrano Rd to the parking lot. |
