There’s no better way to experience Orange County than planning activities around the Santa Ana River Trail. The trail follows the river, stretching from the Pacific Ocean at Huntington Beach northwest to the Orange-Riverside county line. The trail is primarily meant for cycling and pedestrian use, but some sections even support equestrian rides.
After you trek the trail, visit the Orange County Museum of Art. OCMA was founded by 13 women in 1962 as the Balboa Pavilion Gallery. Over the years and through a few name changes the museum has helped to enrich the community by highlighting the work of modern and contemporary artists, especially those from California. The museum’s permanent collection comprises more than 3,500 paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, prints, videos, digital works, and installations. It also features traveling exhibitions. Check the museum’s official site before you arrive to learn what you can expect.
Finish the Orange County/Santa Ana portion of your trip right where it began: at the airport. Arrive early and check out the Lyon Air Museum. Located on the west side of John Wayne Airport Orange County, the aviation museum has much more than planes, focusing on World War II and featuring rare vehicles and memorabilia.
