Wilderness Glen - Mission Viejo, California

My Tripometer: 15 Minutes * 1 Mile * +50 Feet

 Ooh, a Historic Site!
(There's Hikes at every intersection in Mission Viejo!)

Directions

We were at a read light at Trabuco and Los Alisos.  We ate breakfast and were in route to Alyssa's morning game.  Alyssa was already at the field so when I looked to the right and noticed this sign, I told Jess that we will be making a pit stop.  She wasn't very happy but said, "you better run."

Driving directions, hmm, well, this is close to my last hike: Day 643: Serrano Creek.  The Wilderness Glen area appears to be pretty big with multiple trails.  I just happened to find one...

 It's nice back here...

Unexpected

I actually planned on hiking Serrano Creek this morning and was disappointed that I did not encounter water.  Meanwhile, this random hike offer water almost immediately.  At first I thought the trail was just a cut through to another street but then realized I kept going lower and eventually wound up at this creek.  The trail went on for a ways.  I probably went a good half mile in making the round trip a mile trek.  I had to work double time back because of the uphill.  Bottom line, I'm so glad I stop at all of these places.  It's a great feeling to live and explore...
