Living in Rancho Santa Margarita doesn’t make this an easy day hike. Almost three hours each way. 6 hrs invested for 9.5 hrs on the trail. 4.5 up 3.5 down and lunch at the top. It was worth it.
The trail is VERY steep in the beginning. Later it changes to less steep. I would consider it a hard hike. It was a clear day so the views were terrific
Hey Ian ! Marion Mountain rte. is really tough…..congratulations !
