The loops starts only a few feet from the parking lot and ends on the other side of the same lot. There are a few different ways to take once you're on the trail. Theres a few good sized and pretty steep hills.
From the 55 freeway take Chapman east, Turn right one Newport, then left on Canyon View the parking area will be on the right. It costs 2 bucks to park.
