Wear It Off at These Four Hiking Trails in Orange County

Part of being a Southern Californian is taking advantage of the consistently warm weather. Although outsiders tend to hold the stereotypical view that OC locals live in an area inhabited only by lively and bustling cityscape, there are many scenic trails to take you out of the urban and into the rural. Not only that, but Orange County also has some of the finest beaches with easy access to views of the glimmering Pacific Ocean. So get on your best activewear, leave that cellphone at home, and head to these local hiking spots to center yourself and get back in touch with nature. Orange County Hiking Trails
