      If you're in Orange County I would say Santiago Peak, but if you don't mind a drive the easiest trail I've done in probably Rainbow Basin. It's literally a dirt road, but great sceneries.

      Cloud land truck trail over in san Bernardino is a nice easy trail. It eventually forks but both exits spit you out onto highway 18. I usually enter the trail at badger canyon road. I believe it can get some snow in the winter but its California there's hardly any snow to begin with. It's also has beautiful views at night. but some obvious advice always try to do a trail during the day before attempting to do it at night. In other words don't explore a new trail for the first time at night. Also close to that area is bailey canyon rd, it's another easy trail but longer and leads high into the mountains you can take the trail all the way to Crest line.
