A loop trail through the Weir Canyon Wilderness above Anaheim Hills with strong ridge views into the Cleveland National Forest.

The Weir Canyon Wilderness Trail is a roughly 4-mile loop in the Weir Canyon Wilderness above Anaheim Hills, managed in partnership with the Irvine Ranch Conservancy. The route climbs through coastal sage scrub onto exposed ridges with sweeping views back across north OC and out toward the Cleveland National Forest. It's the north-OC ridge classic.

🌟 Why Locals Go Here

Best north-OC backcountry loop with real elevation, real views, and a manageable length.

What to Expect

Steady climbs onto exposed ridges; minimal shade.

💡 Good to Know Before You Go

Trailhead access from the Hidden Canyon staging area in Anaheim Hills. Check Irvine Ranch Conservancy schedule for any guided-only days.

📍 Local Tip

Start counterclockwise — the climb goes faster and the descent is the prettier ridgeline.

Best Time to Visit

October through May.
