The 22-mile "Mountains to Sea Trail" traverses the historic 93,000-acre Irvine Ranch in Orange County, California. Beginning in rugged, oak-filled Weir Canyon, the trail takes you south through six jurisdictions - five cities and a portion of the County of Orange - guaranteeing that the only constant on this trek is an exhilarating change of scenery and topography. The Mountains to Sea Trail - the backbone of the 50,000-acres of open space on The Irvine Ranch - was created through cooperative municipal planning to let people of all ages and abilities experience unimpeded the magnitude, magnificence and diversity of The Ranch. The trail runs from Weir Canyon to Peters Canyon Reservoir, past the historical Irvine Ranch agricultural headquarters and along the San Diego Creek Channel to Upper Newport Bay, taking in a spectacular network of parks, trails and preserved natural lands. The trail along the San Diego Creek passes close to my home, and I took these photos in the area of the "Back Bay", part of Newport Harbor, and along the creek.
