UPDATE - Limestone Canyon and Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park, which has been closed since October’s Santiago Fire, is scheduled to reopen at 9 a.m. July 12. The arson blaze, which charred more than 28,000 acres, burned 90% of the park, one of Orange County’s most popular hiking and mountain biking spots. OC Parks staff and other crews have been hard at work over the past eight months to make the park safe for visitors and help the land recover. OC Parks staff, along with the Orange County Fire Authority and Orange County Conservation Corps, worked to regrade roads and trails, clear brush and fallen trees to ready the park for reopening.
