CHAPARRAL PARK REVIEWS
The flower bloom will be in your face but looks so beautiful. Definitely “harder” than I anticipated. I would stop often and take pictures of the view- it’s amazing
Lots of greenery and slightly elevated road to get to the Turtle Rock Trail. Right beside an elementary so you can head over and check it out too for a short walk.
Great playground with sand lots for kids. Soft green lawn. Long concrete stairs up to the trail head for Turtle Rock Viewpoint.

QUAIL HILL TRAILHEAD REVIEWS
Beautiful area! A few trails were closed due to flooding from all the rain, but the wildflowers don’t mind! Got a quick trail run in here with plenty of hills and flats. Great place for a stroll, too.
Loved this place and the scenery. The view is so beautiful when you're on top. Thanks to the rain we can enjoy many beautiful wildflowers everywhere. One of the best hiking trails in Irvine.
Now my favorite park for MTB. It is so challenging to do a 15 miles route that took me about 3hours. So many routes, uphill and down

BOMMER CANYON TRAIL REVIEWS
A friend and I wanted to do this trail. We made it to the top of Turtle Ridge and the view is absolutely incredible. You could see mountains, hills, houses, skyscrapers, and the ocean! I liked the trail because it was well paved, not too rocky or too steep. Love it love it love it. Highly recommend. There is a little parking immediately at the trailhead. If the small lot is full, there is parking available at a nearby park with tennis courts. Do recommend trying to go early if possible (weather, parking/seemingly popular trail).
Beautiful scenery with green hills. Easy trails for families. There are some wildflowers right now along the trail. This place is tucked inside a local residential community but it's open to the public. Not many parking spaces here and can be busy during the weekend. You can park at the nearby park and walk here if the parking is full. For this trail, you can go alone.
Love riding my mountain bike here. Very challenging climb for a rookie like myself, but a wonderful place. Can get pretty busy, so be careful/aware of the people on the trail, when riding fast.
