Take a Long Weekend Trip Orange County Style
This is a follow up on the post that I published earlier today. In that post, I wrote about enjoying the long-holiday weekend by taking a day trip to one of the sites in the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmark. As mentioned before, the Irvine Ranch is a National Natural Landmark as well as California’s first Natural Landmark site. Since Orange County is heavily populated and both a suburban and an urban area, the designation as California’s first Natural Landmark is significant.
However, if you feel like getting a little farther away from home, here is a list of some other locations designated as National Natural Landmarks that are suitable for a day- or long-weekend trip.
To see additional National Natural Landmark sites located in California, see the National Landmark map.
