What great free outdoor trails during lovely weather and some blooming flowers 🌼. There was an event earlier in the day so many spots were filled but opened up by afternoon.

Could even make a full loop if intended with the shared bike path, but we decided only to do the west bluffs and the interactive museum. Plus you can get some nice photos of the overhead planes leaving John Wayne

A beautiful and scenic hiking area with views of the ocean if you make it that far. The smells were amazing as well. Some trails are more challenging then others with some having a wide walking path, and others along a dense small hiking path. There are bunnies, and birds. Bring water, snacks, proper shoes as you are in nature. Very much look forward to a return visit.
