One of the bigger loops you can take in the Laguna/Newport wilderness. This area has so much to offer, and the views are non-stop. This route offers some single track, some ridge running, as well as some canyon descents, and steep inclines, especially up Laguna Ridge Trail. There is water and bathrooms at the start, as well as mile 6 and 18, so you are well set up resource wise. This is one of the most beautiful trail systems around Southern California, and this 21 plus mile loop, with zero repeated sections, offers you a gorgeous taste of its diversity and beauty. 

The described route is a demanding and challenging alpine trail that circumnavigates the Großarl-Valley on public Trails. Due to the high-alpine terrain and occasional lack of mobile phone reception, this tour should only be undertaken by experienced athletes with proper equipment and thorough planning.
