A Guided Walk in West Coyote Hills

Immerse yourself in the beauty of North Orange County's newest nature preserve. Explore the rare coastal sage habitat of West Coyote Hills, one that is only found in the terraces and foothills of southern California and northwestern Mexico.

Learn about the biodiversity of West Coyote Hills, including the threatened California gnatcatcher, the preserve's most famous resident, and why this nature preserve is so important to its survival.

Discover the inspiring story of how a local grassroots group successfully fought to conserve this vital green space for the over two million residents of park-poor areas in South Los Angeles and North Orange County.

This is a naturalist-guided nature walk. It is rated easy to moderately strenuous but with plenty of stops to discuss points of interest. The total roundtrip distance is between 3-4 miles with a total vertical ascent of less than 100-150 feet.

Comfortable shoes, a hat, sunglasses, water, snacks, and sunscreen are recommended. If you have binoculars, bring them to get a closer glimpse of birds. Most of the walk will be on wide dirt trails. Children must be accompanied by adults.

Info: The Equestrian Center is near the south-east corner of Euclid St. and Lakeview Dr. next to the Laguna Lake Park in Fullerton. Free off-street parking is available.

Info: The walk goes out and back on the same route so if you need to leave early, you can do so easily by just retracing our route.
