I'm so glad you stumbled upon my ...Hi Lindsay. I'm so glad you stumbled upon my blog. To your question, the first thing that comes to mind is Quail Hill. The trailhead is on Shady Oak (off the 405). The trails are well-groomed, most of them not at all rocky. But there's not much shade and I don't really get that "out in the wilderness feel" if I stay in close. There's a nice approx. 2.5 loop right at the trailhead, and there's good out-and-back to a bridge that's about 5 miles total (with one climb). If you cross the street from the trailhead, there's some more technical and steeper climbs. <br /><br />El Moro also is a good place (Off of the tollroad at Newport Coast Drive). There's some pretty tough runs there, but beginners can always do ridge runs and not have too tough a time. Of course my favorite is Aliso Wood Cyns in Aliso Viejo, but that's a lot further from Costa Mesa. My friend comes from Fountain Valley and exists Pacific Park from the toll road to enter Wood Cyn from Canyon Vistas Park. She says it's not that far of a drive. <br /><br />I hope this helps. Search "Quail Hill" on my blog and I'm sure I've got some pictures or more details.

Today though I only took about a 30 minute nap, so I should be good : )Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538884619777387595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-77699688217531143332011-02-01T08:12:14.307-08:002011-02-01T08:12:14.307-08:00hi lauren, i just stumbled on your blog and i'...hi lauren, i just stumbled on your blog and i'm wondering if you can help me out. i am looking for a good trail run in orange county (i live in costa mesa) that would be good for different levels of runners and not too far of a drive from here. do you have any recommendations for first time trail runners? or someplace where there would be a shorter distance and a longer one?lindsay nash schuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045466774952519055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791692547710240011.post-19333846949498245762011-01-31T18:16:07.728-08:002011-01-31T18:16:07.728-08:00Looks like a tough run!
