Cardio Hike: Limestone Canyon and The Sinks

Explore beautiful Limestone Canyon on this challenging fast-paced cardio hike. Along the trail, you’ll pass through coastal sage scrub, grasslands, and oak woodlands. Multiple steep climbs and descents are included. Enjoy views of Saddleback Peak and the Cleveland National Forest along the way. This activity will include a visit to the newly opened East Sinks Viewing Deck, offering a view of the “backside” of The Sinks.

Remember, this cardio hike is much faster than a walk, and features a 1,300-foot elevation change. Experienced cardio hikers welcomed that can hike uphill at an average pace of 3.5-to-4 mph without stopping.  Please make sure you are in excellent physical condition!
