For our June hike, we will climb French Hill and then hike a loop trail around Turtle Rock in Irvine.
Date: Saturday, June 10, 2023
Time: Meet at 7:50, gather, pray, hike at 8:00
This is a loop hike that starts off with a big hill. On top, we will have beautiful views of Irvine and surrounding areas including the ocean. The loop trail is mostly dirt, with some asphalt portions. Just over 4 miles with 800 feet of elevation from three different hills.

Trailhead is immediately on your right. Free street parking. Use 1 Concordia, Irvine for GPS. That's the preschool across the street.
Bathroom: In Canyon Park about 1/4 mile from the starting point. You'll pass it on Turtle Rock Drive on your right.
We'll meet on the sidewalk on Concordia by the trailhead.
Breakfast afterwards (optional): Breakfast Republic, 4213 Campus Drive, Irvine. Across from UCI, next door to Trader Joe's. https://breakfastrepublic.com/
