The Red Tail and Rattlesnake Loop is a fun and off-the-beaten path hike in Crystal Cove State Park that you can find me on every week. It offers incredible ocean views and a secluded single track through native wilderness, including endangered coastal sage scrub.
In the summer this hike can get very hot, and you'll want at least 1L of water. Otherwise this is a pretty straightforward shorter hike, wear fitness clothing or light hiking gear. I use trail runners on these dirt trails. Not all areas have cell service.

When planning, always check the park website and social media to make sure the trails are open. Similarly, check the weather and road conditions.
