Scenic places to walk in South OC

Sure Jewelissa! From Santa Ana, go south on the I-5.

I will take you to Laguna Regional Park first and then bring you around in a loop. Exit on La Paz Road and turn right. Take La Paz at least 2 miles until you cross Aliso Creek Road. The regional park will be on your right and I like to find parking somewhere in the shopping center on the corner of Aliso Creek and La Paz so I don't have to pay an entry fee. Leaving the regional park, continue on La Paz (away from the freeway and the way you came) to Crown Valley Parkway. Turn right on Crown Valley until you hit Pacific Coast Highway. Go right on PCH and proceed north until you come to a Ruby's Diner on the right side of the road. The Montage is directly across from Ruby's, so you will have to find parking and cross the highway and follow the signs for public beach access. When you leave the beach, head north on coast highway through Laguna Beach and turn right on Laguna Canyon Road. Take that up the canyon until you come to where you can turn right on El Toro Rd. Go right on El Toro and take it up under the I-5 once again until you get to Rockfield ( first signal after you pass under the freeway) Turn left and go down to Ridge Route. Turn right and drive up into the residential area and park, possibly at EL Toro High School. There are many paths to take, once you get there. Hope this helps and let me know how it goes!
