Small Peak is a small knoll behind Orange County's Robinson Ranch in the foothills of the Cleveland National Forest. The hike up towards the Small Peak is a fairly difficult 3-mile trail that gains 1,142 feet in elevation. The gravelly dirt trail is surrounded by the native scrub and can be treacherous on the steep incline, but the view at the top of the ridge is fantastic. On a clear day, it stretches all the way to the ocean and Catalina Island.
