Intro to Cardio Hike: Extended Weir Canyon Rifle Range Loop

Thinking the cardio hikes might be too fast for you? If so, join us in beautiful Weir Canyon for this slower intro-to- cardio hike.  Along the trail, you’ll pass through coastal sage scrub, grasslands, and oak woodlands in recovery from the 2017 Canyon fire. Multiple steep climbs and descents are included throughout this 6 mile hike. Enjoy sweeping Sunset Views.
Please make sure you are in excellent physical condition! Even though this is a slower cardio hike, it is faster than a walk. You must be able to hike 3+ miles per hour the entire time without stopping.

Please note that you will be asked to adhere to the following protective measures during the activity in order to participate:

  • Facial coverings are also recommended during the activity.
