a Santiago Oaks Park Ranger will lead intermediate and advanced hikers through 8.5 grueling miles up and down steep terrain at a steady pace for 3.5 hours.

The Hardcore Hike will set foot on 22 of the trails at Santiago Oaks Regional Park.
This first-time event is being held in conjunction with the OC Hiking Club.

The park opens at 7a.m., and the hike starts promptly at 8a.m., starting and ending at the Picnic Area. The hike should be finished before noon.

Please bring plenty of water, sunscreen and an energy snack because it will be a sunny day. Also, be sure to wear sturdy footwear and a hat.

This hike is for intermediate and advanced level hikers.
Ranger-led hikes for beginners, with fewer hills and a slower pace, will be scheduled for later dates.
