Are you looking to get out and hike and look at some beautiful scenery? Then consider either taking a walk or hike or bike ride along the back bay. There is a biking trail, and during our visit we saw many who were taking advantage of the beautiful day. 

The photograph below is looking towards Jamboree and the community of Eastbluff in Newport Beach.

There is beautiful foliage and it is all so varied. My daughter is working on a high school science project on decidious trees, and part of that project was to identify a tree, and to come back and visit it several times to see how it changes.
