Take a tour through 3 different outdoor parks with this route Nothing too difficult here- as long as you pace yourself. I always end up walking back up Stairsteps at the end- no shame there. Park at the Ranger Station off of Alicia and Aliso Creek, or at Canyon View Park in Aliso and save yourself a couple of (somewhat) monotonous miles. Bring extra food and water- this route will take at minimum 2.5 - 3 hours of ride time. Parks visited: Aliso and Wood Canyon, Laguna Coast Wilderness, and Crystal Cove.
