Hike El Moro Canyon Loop Trail, Newport Beach, California

El Moro Canyon Loop Trail is a 5 mile loop trail located in Crystal Cove State Park near Newport Beach, California. Starting at the Ranger Station, walk downhill and turn left onto the dirt trail before the campground. Continue on the dirt to the long bridge. Once you cross the bridge, you will be in beautiful Moro Canyon. Continue up the MORO CANYON Trail (~ 1 mile) until you reach the EAST CUT ACROSS Trail. Turn right and climb the steep, winding uphill to Moro Ridge (~ 1.1 mile). Turn right towards the ocean and as you near the Coast Highway (~1.6 mile) look for BFI. Turn right on this short-with-some-steep single track which connects with Moro Canyon. Turn left, cross the long bridge, and bear right up a moderate uphill climb, past the campground and back to the parking lot.
