These are some shots of Portola Hills natural surroundings

This is view of Portola Hills looking east from Modjeska Grade.  You can see how it is on the fringes of development and next to lots of open space.

This is a view west from Modjeska Grade showing the homes around Santiago Road.  In the background  to the right is a large tract of open land donated by the Irvine Company.

This is east side of Whiting Ranch

Just down Live Oak Canyon Road and very close to the Trabuco Oaks Steakhouse is O'Niell Park.  A large park that is open to the public for camping hiking and etc.  You can stay the night in a pup tent or motorhome.  They have bathroom and shower facilities.  You never would suspect that you are surrounded by civilization.
