Equestrian Ride in Weir Canyon

Ride through historic Weir Canyon and reflect on Orange County’s rich history of transportation trails in this area. This trail is part of the storied trail route that oxen teams traveled on during the 1800s carrying hides to market in San Juan Capistrano. Weir Canyon was home to the largest and healthiest oak woodlands in the county. Many of the oaks are now scarred from fire. Rejoice in the new growth and restored areas in the canyon as the area heals.
