Summer, the Perfect Time to Explore OC by Bike

Get out your bicycle and explore Orange County! Many great routes are available. One of the most popular is the Mountains to Sea Trail, which extends 22 miles from Weir Canyon in the north to the Upper Newport Bay along the Pacific Coast. 

A compilation of multiple routes including the Peters Canyon Trail, San Diego Creek Trail and Back Bay Trail, the Mountains to Sea Trail winds through some of the most scenic locales in OC and connects to an array of bikeways networks, urban parks, and natural lands.  Easily accessible, it travels through the cities of Anaheim, Orange, Tustin, Irvine, Newport Beach and unincorporated sections of the county.

Whether you’re seeking scenery, serenity or both, you can find what you’re looking for on this trail. It offers a quick and easy escape from urban bustle plus a connection to nature.

The Mountains to Sea Trail is certainly a highlight for bicyclists in Orange County, but there are many other great places to ride. With more than 1,000 miles of bikeways and long summer days ahead, the best months for bicycling are here!  Request an Orange County Bikeways Guide in English or Spanish here.
