SUMMARY:Tuesday Morning Fitness Hike on Paved Hicks Haul Road
DESCRIPTION:Ready for a workout? Forget the gym for the day and head outside! Join us for an exhilarating morning fitness hike on the paved Hicks Haul Road in OC Parks’ Irvine Ranch Open Space. This hike allows you to choose between a 3\, 6\, or 8 mile route \, all of which are conducted at the speed of about 3.0 to 3.5 miles per hour. The footing on the asphalt paved road is smoother than dirt roads and single track trails normally found in Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve\, but is beginning to show its age with cracks\, crevices and an occasional dip. Otherwise\, the terrain is smooth\, so this is a great walk for anyone who wants a “wilderness experience” without getting dirty! The 6 and 8 mile routes experience two fairly steep ascents and descents. The 3 mile route takes you to the top of Loma Ridge and back down. Along the way\, you will have sweeping views of much of Orange County and the Santa Ana Mountains. Various animals\, like hawks\, deer\, and lizards are also frequently seen in this area. Participants should be confident in their ability to hike 3\, 6\, or 8 miles at a steady pace. Please come prepared with proper hiking attire\, ample water and adequate sun protection. Because of the paved surface\, you may wear walking or running shoes instead of hiking boots. For the longer distances\, at least 2 quarts of water (64 oz) is recommended. Ages 16 and up. Please note that you will be asked to adhere to the following measures in order to participate: Be registered in advance\, no walk-up registration is permitted. Arrive with all necessary equipment to keep you safe on the trail\, including water\, proper attire\, and closed-toe footwear\, first aid\, health needs etc. Restrooms will be available\, but facilities will not be sanitized for each individual. All participants are required to sign a liability waiver upon arrival at the staging area and before beginning the activity. The waiver can be previewed here: IRC Liability Waiver You may be prevented from participating if you do not adhere to the above protocols. Additionally\, in an effort to respect and protect all employees\, volunteers\, and participants\, please do not sign up or attend if you are not feeling well\, exhibiting any symptoms of illness or have been in recent contact with someone who was ill.

Other Important Notes: OC Parks Rangers require all trails to be cleared for closure by 1:00 pm No new trail users will be permitted onto the trails beginning one hour prior to closing. Dogs are prohibited on the Irvine Ranch Open Space. 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 17 and under\, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Adult mountain bikers are requested to wear helmets. Minors are required to wear helmets per state law. Inclement weather or fire danger will cause the program to be cancelled. 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 the wildlife needs. Learn more and register for Exploration Day: Saddleback Wilderness.
