There’s a few Whiting Ranch hiking options, but Red Rock Canyon is the most popular for a good reason. The gently climbing trail makes it way up a oak woodland canyon, eventually ending in a smooth red rock canyon like you’d see in Arizona (but unique to Orange County). Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park is rich with wildlife. I often see squirrels and lizards, and less often deer. The hike is mellow, easy, and is great for families.

Another awesome video!
Very good channel!
I remember this hike from when I came in 2015! It is well before I started doing videos of my hikes! It is a great wildflower spot in late winter/spring. For me, the favorite parts were in the oaks and the wash leading up to, an being at, the base of the red rocks!
Yea, I love the oaks in the beginning.
nice little walk gets rid of the fat
Nice description! This is a good hike, I have done it a few times and enjoyed it. There are some other good trails in that area.
Yea, lots of nice trails at Whiting, hoping to get some more up this year. I hike there quite a bit.
Sad that people don’t respect little rules...great hike 😎
Yea, it really bummed me out, no one even cared.
BTW with the latest explore app you can FINALLY import a GPX directly
Is that a mobile app? What's the full name?
Nice, good to know, thanks for the update, I just gave up on it for a while...

Well, I've been hiking this area logn BEFORE all of the signs were installed.
The most interesting section of this canyon is beyond the new signs.
It was a great little place to take a break.
There's also a couple of side trails that now have these signs.
Those were also interesting places to explore.
All of these closed areas are on washes consisting of rock and sand.
These aren't biological soil crusts that would be damage by hiking on them.
If there had been the need for rescues in these areas, I cound understand.
However, the only people that need rescuing in this park are the mountain bikers.
I'm well into my 70's and have watched access to formerly open areas disappear.
People are dismissive of rules that close previously open areas with no just cause.
That's why you see so many of the local people ignoring the signs.
And no, I did not vote for Trump.
But, I'm beginning to understand why!
I was just gonna say.. I'm sure there is a good reason to block off some of the areas mentioned. Then I read the comment below. Apparently those certain people we all know, who were not following the signs posted, were carving their names in the rocks and destroying nature which takes away the beauty, in my eyes. So the signs are there to help avert idiots like that!! And since you brought up Trump ... I don't think I will be voting this year, but I'm sorry to say... Trump may be our next President.
Great video. I'm just now thinking about going on this hike. Do you know if the parking kiosk machine accepts cash? Or is it just all card?
the kiosk should accept cash, but bring a card just in case
You can park in the back near the Ralph's, thats what I do to avoid paying.
is this 2 miles in and 2 miles back, or 4 miles in 4 miles back? and how long did it take you to finish the hike in total? thank you
Check out the link under the video for all that info.
How long would you say it takes you to get to the poison oak area please?
Probably 30 mins
@@Hikingguy thanks!
i'm of two minds. i don't like people vandalizing, littering, or destroying nature. those people are scumbags but going a few feet past the "fence" to grab a quick photo isn't hurting the rock. i don't think it's a big deal.
I didn't put video of it here, but these people (and most others I see here) weren't just over the rope, they were climbing the cliff, etc. I see it every time I do this hike unfortunately. On this day I even saw some 20 somethings carving their name in the rocks. Sad.
it’s ashamed many people don’t follow rules...that’s why places get shot down and there the one that wines when they have no place to hike,camp or whatever it maybe.PEOPLE FOLLOW RULES and pick up after ur self don’t leave trash behind lets work together.
Yea, it's a bummer.
