Casper’s Wilderness Park

ADDRESS: 33401 Ortega Hwy, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

13 MILES    ELEVATION: 1600FT   
LEVEL: MODERATE    TIME: 6 HOURS 

We visited Caspers Park on an early Sunday morning and got to see a pack of coyotes, a flock of vultures and the hot springs all to ourselves.  To get to the hot springs we made a 13 mile loop with the hot springs being our halfway mark.   Once you drive in from the ranger entrance you will make your second right with the hike to the hot springs starting at the end of San Juan Meadow Group Area. There are tons of ways to go so build your own adventure with the map. Grab a map from the Ranger at the entrance or print this one out HERE!
