I love this park. I've camped here had to hike in 3miles. I've done almost all the hikes. Such a good workout. Also a tip if you don't want to pay $15 for parking or just start a different way, there's a park all the way in the top near the 73fwy you can park there.
Crystal Cove is a hidden gem of Southern California. I haven’t done this hike - but when my son gets a little older, I imagine we’ll be doing this regularly!
This , the laguna wilderness and Aliso Woods are the gems of the OC. I hike, bike and run the area. A historical note on the down hill (roped off now) is a WW2 submarine observation bunker. One of only a couple left on the coastline.
I’ve done this hike a couple times before. Maybe not this particular loop. But i usually park by the Coastal Peak Park because i’m cheap and didn’t want to pay a parking fee lol
I need to spend more time there. I live in Irvine at the moment and yet I end up going much further afield to hike, when this place is practically in my backyard. I even pass there to go swimming in Laguna multiple times a week.
This isn’t near me but it’s interesting to see anyway. I think the way you did this is effective - like the little arrows pointing to the trail junctions.
I hate black mustard plants. Ticks seem to love them for launching pads. I try to avoid the plant but even with an anti-tick spray (picaridin 15%), a tick landed on me this last weekend. Nasty buggers. I got’em off me before he could get breakfast. Love your channel.
I did this trail last year, it was good. Was wondering if maybe you could do a guide either here on YT or on the site for the 16 mile or so Scharbarum-Skyline Trail that starts at Pathfinder Park in Rowland Heights and ends at the Workman Mill Staging Area in Whittier? I have only done part of the hike because of its length - it is doable in a day if starting early enough.
It’s been hot out there! I hiked the Little Sycamore & Serrano Ridge Loop (Nix Nature Center) yesterday. They don’t open the parking lot until 8. It was super nice and overcast when I started but quickly the sun broke through and I was drenched 😂 I’ve always wanted to spend a night at the camp ground up there in Moro. Will have to book it sometime. Is that the Osprey hikelite you’re using? I have the hikelite 18 and love it! Cheers from Laguna Hills!
These videos and your website are so helpful. Thanks for putting these together and sharing!

Is Crystal Cove still this green now?
Starting to dry out, some green left
It was pretty dry last weekend. But lots of yellows purples and greens in the hills.
@@chrisyeager5905 thanks, good to know!
Crystal Cove, home of Scooby Doo?
