Cattle Crest and Rabbit Run from Quail Hill

From the Quail Hill parking area in Irvine I set out to enjoy the Bommer Canyon Open Access Day. Registration was not required, and it was free to park at the trailhead here, unlike some of the other nearby trailheads. Hope this guide is helpful for planning your hikes on Bommer Canyon Open Access Day.

The San Onofre Bluffs: 6 mile Beach Loop Hike

I went for a 6 mile scenic hike at one of my favorite coastal bluffs, at San Onofre State Beach. It’s a kind of strange location to find a state park, sandwiched between a border patrol checkpoint to the east of it, the remnants of a nuke plant to the north of it, and the huge expanse of Camp Pendleton, to the south and east of it.
