【Hike】Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach

     Last week, my husband and I finally finished filing our tax return, so we decided to go hiking this weekend. It's been a long while since we went walking last time. This time, we went to Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach. We went there in 2019, and we thought that Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve is one of the best places for walking and bird-watching in Orange County. Then, I found that it's also in the book, 50 Hikes in Orange County, which I purchased to enjoy Orange County hikes.


 Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
3842 Warner Ave 
Huntington Beach, CA 92649
U.S.A.

Tips for Walking on Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve.
・Apply sunscreen on entire body.
・Wear sunglasses and hat.
・Drink water often.
・You can not bring your dogs.
・You will see a lot of birds.

Free Parking Lots
      There are two small parking lots for this place. We parked our car in the north parking lot at 2 p.m. It was very easy to find a parking space that day.

North Lot : 3842 Warner Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92649
South Lot : 18000 CA-1, Huntington Beach, CA 92648

Interpretive Center Located in North Parking Lot

        We took many photos with our cameras, Canon EOS Rebel SL1 with telephoto zoom lens, Canon EF-S 55-250mm, Canon PowerShot SX50 HS, and my iPhone 7. Today, I'm going to share beautiful photos we took at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve that day with you. :)

     I really love hiking and watching wild animals. That day, I was able to watch many kinds of birds, some squirrels, small lizards and a hairy caterpillar at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. If you are a nature lover like myself, you will definitely enjoy this place. :)
