The well-maintained Santa Ana NWR walking trails cover about 12 miles throughout the Refuge. All trails are short, none over 1 ½ miles. There is also the paved, one-way, Wildlife Drive, a loop that twists almost 7 miles through the Refuge. The last mile runs along the top of a levee and is not paved. I walked 7.5 miles on this day.

On this chilly, overcast morning with little wind, I rode out of the Santa Ana NWR parking lot and pedaled south over the levee and into the heart of the refuge. At about a half mile an observation tower rises above the canopy of trees. Beside it is suspended a rope suspension foot bridge between two towers accessible by spiral staircases.
