Orange County, A Day Hiker’s Guide explores the surprising array of outdoor wonders of an area better known for its theme parks than its nature parks.

Explore the wild side of Orange County in this enticing collection of parks and preserves in the second-most populous county in California—which is also the second-most biologically diverse, with its amazing variety of flowering plants and birdlife.

Discover hikes on classic trails and brand-new pathways in OC’s remarkable system of regional and wilderness parks, as well as national forest and state parklands. Saunter the Laguna Hills, Santa Ana Mountains, Crystal Cove State Park and the Anaheim Hills, and enjoy the best beach hikes from San Clemente to Bolsa Chica. Also includes the finest hikes in adjacent Riverside County!

• Colorful stories, clear maps, easy-to-follow directions
• Best hikes for waterfalls, wildflowers, mountaintop vistas
• Best hikes for families, romance, out-of-town guests
• Nature walks, moderate hikes, all-day adventures
