Meet next to Hummingbird Park - PARK ON HUMMINGBIRD LANE
21933 Aliso Creek Road, Aliso Viejo, CA 92656

Park on HUMMINGBIRD LANE next to the Park, right off Aliso Creek Road, then we'll walk together to the trailhead, which is very close at Aliso Creek and El Toro Road. There's a very clean port-a-potty at Hummingbird Park if needed before we hit the trail. Sorry, no dogs aloud on this trail.

Woods End Trail:
- to Ridge Top Trail And beyond. Option to go to Black Jack.
Great views and we'll pass by Barbara's Lake!

The first 1/2 mile gain is approximately 300 feet and is a bit rocky at times, however it's a pretty wide trail that intermittently smooths out and gets rocky again, smooth, rocky, smooth, rocky :) The transition to Canyon trail takes us back down into a canyon and is mostly flat, however beautiful, with some trees and other foliage. Once at Black Jack Trail it is steep uphill for about 1/4 mile or less - views from the point are spectacular.

Great views and we'll pass by Barbara's Lake!
