As warmer air and greenery begin to flourish in Irvine, consider taking a hike at the Sunset Point trail.
Located in the Turtle Rock community at the corner of Turtle Rock Drive and Sundance, this hike provides scenic views of Irvine and has rich Native American history.
City staff also recently installed trail signs to help navigate and stay on the path and remind visitors of trail hours.
