Leader: Jon Resnick

Location: Coastal Peak Park, Newport Beach

Directions: From the 405 fwy, head south on Culver, which will turn into Bonita Canyon Dr. Go left on Newport Coast Dr and then left on Ridge Park Rd. Go all the way up the hill almost to the end of the street. Turn right on East Coastal Peak. Coastal Peak Park will be on your right - park in the parking lot or along the street. Meet near the restrooms.

About the Run: Head out toward the trailhead at the end of the Ridge Park Road cul-de-sac. Run is on scenic trails that offer great views of the coastal bluff vegetation and wildlife. It is a 10 mile loop (or do an out-and-back for less miles). The primary trails are Pacific Ridge Trail to the ranger station, left on Moro Canyon trail, right on BFI, left on Moro Ridge and left on Bommer Ridge back to the cars, but there are lots of options and the park has maps at most trail intersections. Restrooms and water at start and at the ranger station at about 3.5 miles. Bring water.

After the run: Mustard Cafe or Starbucks in Newport Coast Shopping Center, 21137 Newport Coast Dr.
