50 Hikes in Orange County

Karin Klein

This brand-new entry in the popular 50 Hikes series covers the most interesting hiking trails in Orange County, California, providing diverse hikes in a variety of wilderness environments: from a short walk along a concrete channel to see a endangered green turtles to more challenging hikes to find tide pools, waterfalls, and the treasures of the county’s private nature preserves. Each hike provides detailed directions and maps and offers a unique perspective on its environs-whether hot springs, earthquake faults, or vibrant wildflower displays-giving as close an experience as possible to hiking with a live guide. Several area hikes are available only in this book, making it a must-have for your California sojourn.

Karin Klein is an award-winning editorial writer for the Los Angeles Times, covering education, environment, and culture. A 25-year resident of Orange County, Klein is also a volunteer naturalist and hike leader at Laguna Coast, Aliso & Wood Canyon, and Caspers Wilderness Parks and a tide pool docent at Crystal Cove State Park.
