Maple Springs Road

Maple Springs Road is the backdoor to Saddleback Mountain from Orange County. One of Orange County's few trails, this is a popular overland route for people wanting to get out of the house and stay local. Others say they enjoy this road because it leads to the best view of Orange County. Suppose you are fortunate to have a few hours around sunset. In that case, the view from the top of Saddleback Mountain is known for photographs of the sun setting over Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean with Orange County in the foreground.

The lower section of the trail has a unique scenery for Orange County. The area is covered in oaks and pines. A nearby creek runs most of the year. It's an excellent place for a picnic. If you are lucky, you can find a swimming hole.
