I noticed the entrance to the Borrego Trail only recently, despite having driven by it dozens of times (in my defense, the main sign is dark brown, and blends in with the trees; I didn't take a photo of the main sign in this album, but I did on my next visit). Yesterday we finally had a cloudy (and slightly rainy) day without the punishing heat and high UV, so I walked it for the first time. Nice, quiet trail, with some pretty expansive views out over the big swath of Federal land (with an FBI field office, and…?) that's in between north Irvine and north Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch.
Note that this Borrego Trail in Baker Ranch shouldn't be confused with the Borrego Canyon Trail in Whiting Ranch. Seems they both follow the Borrego Wash, however (I guess it goes underground in between the two). I also have a number of photos and animal videos I've shot on the Borrego Canyon Trail, which I'll be uploading before too long.
Speaking of animal videos, I have a YouTube video companion to this photo album, and it includes footage of the closest I've ever been to a turkey vulture:

Also, after walking from the Trail Head at Baker Ranch Rd. to the trail entrance on Alton, I walked a little ways southwest, to take the photos of the IRWD pump(?) station on Magazine Rd., through to the destroyed and grown-over Speed Limit 60 MPH sign.
I took my second walk on the trail on September 27, and those photos are in this album as well.
Simply click on any file size figure to get a page with just that image, including its caption (if any), a toggle for additional info (e.g. EXIF data), and arrow buttons that will take you to the previous and next images. Clicking on the "File" column heading will collapse the table below to exclude the inline thumbnails. Clicking on one of the other column headings will get you a page containing ALL the images in that particular file format and size, with their captions (if any) printed alongside them.
