Join us for a strenuous, extremely challenging, fast-paced cardio hike in Aqua Chinon and Limestone Canyon. Along the way we’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Orange County and possible wildlife sightings. The hike begins in the Agua Chinon wash, continues to The Sinks, and may include a side trip to Box Springs, a natural year-round source of freshwater. This is an 8 mile advanced cardio hike, completed in 2 hours, with a 1500 foot total elevation gain. This hike is for experienced, physically fit hikers who enjoy the challenge of multiple steep climbs and descents.
