A new map is attached to your confirmation as some trails will be designated as one-way only due to COVID-19 guidelines.

Participants will want to plan their day successfully by using Trail Tips to prepare for your hike.

• Maintain proper physical distancing, a minimum of 6 feet, between yourself and all other participants at all times.
• A contact-less arrival system will be utilized to diminish touching and sharing items. There will be no on-site registration table. Bring a printed copy of your auto-generated confirmation email. You are required to show your confirmation.
• Please bring plenty of water as there are no facilities in this wilderness setting on the trails and water will not be available at the staging area.
  • Rule of thumb: 1 liter or 32 ounces per hour, per person.
  • For longer or more strenuous hikes, carry a backpack or waist pack that can accommodate the amount of water you will need.
• Please follow all County and State guidelines for COVID-19. You can learn more about facial covering guidelines here: Orange County Health Care Agency Guidelines
• Please do not plan to gather, stopping to eat, or meet in groups.

Participants are required to stay on designated trails at all times. In addition to being a rare and sensitive habit, the Irvine Ranch Open Space is under strict protection.

• No new trail users will be permitted onto the trails at least one hour prior to closing.
• Dogs are prohibited on the Irvine Ranch Open Space. No matter how cute yours may be, by nature, dogs are predators; their presence and their lingering scent disturb the indigenous wildlife and disrupt vital routines long after a dog has left the area.
• Minors, ages 18 and under, should be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Adult mountain bikers and equestrians are requested to wear helmets. Minors are required to wear helmets per state law.
• If you are an equestrian, there is a separate registration designated for you found at www.LetsGoOutside.org/activities and click under “Wilderness Access Day – Equestrians.” Once registered, please email info@irconservancy.org at least 72 hours prior to the event so that we may verify whether your trailer can be accommodated in our parking configuration.

Multi-use trail etiquette: Please Remember that bikers yield to hikers and that bikers and hikers yield to equestrians. Click here for more trail tips.

To minimize the human impact on wildlife and their habitat, there may be unannounced trail closures or the rotation of areas being open and closed. This is an adaptive management approach to accommodate both the human users and wildlife needs.
