Description
Limestone Canyon rock formations.
Prized for its beauty, unusual geology and extraordinary diversity of flora and fauna, these Limestone Canyon geological formations are called the “Sinks” and are frequently compared to a miniature Grand Canyon. It is an 8-mile round trip hike to the "Sinks", but this portion is visible from the 161 Toll Road.
The Sinks are located within a spectacular and lush 5,500-acre area canyon includes thick oak woodlands, streamside habitats, year-round springs and these iconic geological formations. A rich diversity of plants and animals as well as an unusual variety of natural habitats make Limestone a true favorite among hikers, mountain bikers and naturalists of all types. Registration is required for docent-led programs due to the area’s sensitive habitat, but all programs are free.
This area is part of the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks in Orange County, California. This is a giant stretch of green crescent land from Weir Canyon near the 91 Freeway at the north end of the Irvine Ranch… connecting with the Cleveland National Forest along the ranch’s northeastern border… continuing south where they include the massive regional open space network in the northern and southern hillsides of Irvine… and extend all the way to Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and Crystal Cove State Park near Laguna Beach.
