Peter’s Canyon Trail In Orange County

Orange County has many different hiking trails around the area. There are trails called Black Star Canyon (which I always go to), Santiago Canyon Trail, Laguna Coast Trail, and this trail called the Peter’s Canyon Trail. Be sure to get here early because even at around 8:30 the parking lot is filled with hikers, dog walkers, families, couples, and much more. There’s a parking fee of $3 and the trails are closed when the sun sets.

If you’re looking for a nice walk, hike, or run, this is perfect for any fitness level. There are many bikers here so make sure you keep a look out for that. There are certain areas that’s off limits due to conserving plant life as well as animals. Trails begin really flat and simple but there are a couple of big hills that you’ll need proper training for.

I’ve seen bikers and runners going straight up this hill! (what “G” and I named Cardiac Hill! Once you start the path you will feel the burn! But at the top you get a nice overview of the area so it’s worth it.
