Ride Summary:
Lots of great trails to choose from. Described by many as an MTB mecca

Trail Description:
This park contains lush, sycamore-shaded canyons and high ridges offering views of the Pacific Ocean which create a spectacular environment for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding. The northern No Name Ridge and Red Tail Ridge are connected to the southern Moro Ridge Trail by other small trails through the lower Moro Canyon Trail allowing a near infinite variety of loop options.

The park is designed to preserve the delicate balance of the natural habitat, so a major portion of the park's 3,200 acres is open for use only on a limited basis. Not to worry though there is always plenty of fun trails to ride.

Be sure to have $5.00 handy for the parking machine. No change is available.

How to get there:
Moro Canyon is about 2 miles North of Laguna Beach off the Pacific Coast Highway. The exit and route is well marked so just follow the signs.
