The hike to San Juan Hill from the Casino Ridge Staging area is a shorter, and steeper way to the peak. The trailhead is located on the southern side of Chico Hills near Water Canyon. It's a beautiful trail to explore, and the parking is free.
The hike to Turtle Ridge begins at Bommer Vista Point Trailhead in Irvine. There are parking spots, and restrooms. It is a 3.5 mile advanced beginner hike to a ridge, with beautiful scenic views of the mountains, and Catalina Island.
Follow along as I hike through Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. I will share where to park, the costs involved, and helpful tips for a successful visit to this unique travel destination in Orange County, California.
It was a sunny fall day when I arrived at Chino Hills, to hike Diemer Trail. I will go over the trailhead, parking, and the history of Chino Hills State Park, so you can better plan your visit.
