Essentially did the red "strenuous" perimeter loop, however, I started in Moro Canyon and hit No Name Ridge/Pacific Ridge(?) via West Cut Across. Some truly magnificent trail names in this area...
Rounded out the NW side of the loop by visiting Coastal Peak Park then hitting Bommer Trail on the north side.

Very warm at 6:30am and it didn't really cool off at all until a light breeze kicked in at the end. Enjoyed seeing the western side of the Santa Ana Mountains and of course the big drink. Took a quick dip to cool off after the hike - you might as well make the most of the $15 parking fee.

No snake sightings, but I did see multiple tracks in the dirt from them crossing the road.
