Hiking
Thank goodness for protected wilderness areas! This amazing trail affords awesome views of the coastline, Laguna Beach and the coast looking north. It's an easy trail that's great for breaking-in a pair of hiking boots, but you won't need them. I'm sure some people use the trail for running practice. Please note that dogs are not allowed in this trail. No motorcycles, either.

Nice hike with a great view. The beginning is slightly difficult due to a steep climb, 45 minutes round trip if you go to the Aliso peak. Amazing ocean views at the top. From PCH South, turn left on West and another left on Valido.
