Discover the Best Orange County Mountain Biking
Our 2-sided mountain biking maps include the Laguna region (El Moro State Park, Laguna Wilderness and Aliso & Wood Canyons) , Chino Hills State Park, Cleveland National Forest, Caspers Wilderness and the San Juan Trail.

Description:
The life-o-plenty that blesses residents of coastal Orange County extends to the range of mountain biking and outdoor opportunities available to them. Three beautiful open space areas surround Laguna Beach that offer a wide array of great mountain bike trails: Crystal Cove State Park (a.k.a. El Moro Canyon), Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and Aliso & Wood Canyons Wilderness Park. Additional open space will be available in the near future as the huge holdings of the Irvine Company become publicly accessible.

The riding here offers incredible diversity, with technical single-track trails interspersed with mellow fire roads. The scenery includes beautiful native grasslands and coastal scrub that give way to expansive views of the ocean.

The one drawback to these riches is that the parks, particularly Aliso & Wood Canyons, can draw huge crowds on weekends. Please be careful and respect all users. Please note also that the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park is open only on weekends.
