On a clear day, views from the high points on this ride will include all of metropolitan Orange County, the Santa Ana Mountains and the northern Irvine Ranch wildlands. Riders have the chance to encounter a variety of wildlife, including birds of prey, lizards, snakes, coyotes and bobcats. This is an extremely strenuous ride.
