Whiting Ranch Wilderness Trail, Portola pkwy — Attraction in Lake Forest

Amazing hiking trails with an easy entrance and parking for $3.00.

Parking right next to 7-11 so you can grab snacks and cold drinks for the trail.

If you're a little more ambitious and plan to make a day if it stop in at Ralph's just past the 7‐11 and grab food for a picnic.

Ralph's has coolers fir sake and you can grab ready to eat sandwiches or chicken in the deli to take on your hike for lunch.

We opted to but bread, lunch meat, cheese, mayonnaise, drinks, and plastic utensils and a cooler and made sandwiches fresh once we got to a beautiful spot on the trail to stop and make lunch.

You can't go wrong spending a day in this beautiful area.

Please:

Take only Photographs. Leave...
