Travel Through New Worlds…In Just 22 Miles

Whether you travel by bike, horse, on rollerblades or simply by putting one foot in front of the other, you're in for a spectacular outdoor adventure as you explore the 22-mile "Mountains to Sea Trail" that traverses the historic 93,000-acre Irvine Ranch.

Beginning in rugged, oak-filled Weir Canyon, the trail takes you south through six jurisdictions - five cities and a portion of the County of Orange - guaranteeing that the only constant on this trek is an exhilarating change of scenery and topography. The Mountains to Sea Trail - the backbone of the 50,000-acres of open space on The Irvine Ranch - was created through cooperative municipal planning to let people of all ages and abilities experience unimpeded the magnitude, magnificence and diversity of The Ranch.

From Weir Canyon to Peters Canyon Reservoir, past the historical Irvine Ranch agricultural headquarters and along the San Diego Creek Channel to Upper Newport Bay, there's no more enjoyable way to experience one of the nation's most spectacular networks of parks, trails and preserved natural lands.
