Red Rock Canyon is a 10-mile lollipop-looped difficult trail in Whiting Ranch, a popular Orange County wilderness area. This trail will challenge your skills as it gains 2,152 feet in elevation, but will give you a perfect tour of the entire wilderness area. After a mile of an easy dirt trail, you will climb Dreaded Hill, which goes steadily up. The views from the top of the hill are fantastic. From there, you can pick one of many trails in different directions and enjoy the fascinating geology of the Red Rock Canyon and local scrubland along the dirt path.
