Join us for a strenuous, extremely challenging, cardio hike starting in Limestone Canyon. Along the way we’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Orange County and possible wildlife sightings. This is a 7.5 mile cardio hike, completed in 3 hours and includes a 1500 ft elevation change. This hike is for experienced, physically fit hikers who enjoy the challenge of multiple steep climbs and descents. There are no rest stops scheduled along the way, and the average 3.5 mile per hour pace can be difficult over steep terrain in the wilderness setting.
