Description
It's not Utah or Colorado or Arizona but near Lake Forest, California! This is in Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park in late spring. It's just a short hike from the local grocery store, and it's just amazing that you can be in such a 'wilderness' so close to civilization. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park encompasses approximately 2,500 acres of oak woodland canyons, rolling grassland hills and steep slopes of coastal sage scrub and chaparral. The park is highlighted by scenic rock formations, including the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. There are three intermittent streams: Borrego, Serrano and Aliso Creek meandering through the park, each hosting an abundance of wildlife. Remnants of the former cattle ranching days can be seen throughout the park.

Joan... over the years, I have done several environmental compliance projects in this area. The Metropolitan Water District of So. Cal., in the early, 1990's proposed a giant tunnel through the Cleveland National Forest and including Whiting Ranch, to bring water from a reservoir in Riverside County to southern Orange County..... The project was off and on through the years, and then the idea of bringing a new tunnel in terms of a roadway through the same general passage to reduce the load off of the "91 Fwy..... that also went away. Lots of geotechnical and underground aquifer issues.....
