Hey there! Do you like outdoor activities? Then you are in one of the best parts of the country. Get ready, lace up your hiking boots and start heading out. May it be a trail with a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean or around a lush of greenery, Irvine has it all for you! Mother nature has blessed this land with pleasant weather throughout the year. Get out of your lab, explore the vastness of the mother earth and feel blissful. 🙂
The hiking club is very active and organizes hikes on weekends throughout the year. AGS also occasionally organizes several hikes and day outings. Join these clubs and actively check for their activities! I wish you a safe and a happy living in Irvine.
Some of the trails that I think you must visit.
- Turtle Rock – Turtle rock hills are very close to the campus. It is a small trail but gives a nice view of Irvine from the top!
- Laguna Coast Wilderness Park – It is a 2.7 mile trail and offers an amazing view of Laguna Beach. Look how beautiful the trail is! :)\
- Bommer Canyon – It is also around 2.5 miles from the campus. It offers a spectacular view of the endless wheat field. If you visit in the winter, you get to see a lush green.
