Run, Bike Or Stroll To Top Of The World

After a lengthy closure, the Top of the World trail and Fire Road has opened.

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — It's been a lengthy project but just in time for summer the trail that connects the Top of the World and the Fire Road in Laguna Beach is now open, according to the City of Laguna Beach.

The trail which formerly was rugged, steep and what some considered dangerous is now well manicured and lined with rails and ramps, and a fence separating wildland from the walkway.

The popular hiking and running spot offers views out to the mighty Pacific. On a foggy morning, the clouds drape hillsides and blanket the slopes and hillsides until the sunlight breaks through. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Catalina Island.
