Environmental Nature Center in Newport Beach. Admission is free! Not many people know about it though. It's like a botanical garden with only California Native species from around the state. They have a various ecosystems like the desert, redwood forest, etc. Things you wouldn't expect in newport. Also, in the spring they have a butterfly house.
This is great. I lived in Orange County all my life and have been to most of these places. A couple I did not know about. Now I live thousands of miles away. Made me a little homesick.
Nice! I'm in Texas but grew up in O.C. I lived in Huntington Beach all my time there. Our family are pioneers of HB and Grandpa having farmed there as early as 1910 and in the Segerstrom area also. What memories!
My dads step dad owned 48% of the property in Orange County including nots berry farm and he also invented nuclear guidance systems at lock ket Martin his name was jack preston look it up .
Holy Jim Canyon is one of my favorite hikes in OC! Unfortunately its still closed from the recent fires, or else I'd go out there to capture footage for a follow up video. :( Thanks for watching!
I was born in Orange County (Mission Viejo) back in 1977. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see these things, since my family moved to North Carolina (Cherry Point) when I was just a baby. My dad is now a retired Marine, (but back then), when the Marines transferred you to ANY base, you had no choice. You had to go - no ands, ifs or buts! So today, I'm living in a travel trailer at a campground in Virginia (Chesapeake) as broke as the Ten Commandments! No way I can make it back out to California, with the cost of living and all.
I've lived here 22 years and didn't know any of these existed until a couple weeks ago! Haha. It goes to show that there's always something new to explore. Thanks for watching!
One of my favorite hidden gems is Blackstar canyon. It makes you wonder if Walter White is up in those hills behind the electric fences and armed patrols that drive frequently through there. If you look at google earth, there is a large structure up in the hills above Blackstar. Along with the overly protected private land, Blackstar has many stories and myths of being haunted and the sight of an Indian Massacre. There are vehicles rusting off the road and abandoned houses back in the canyon, which add to the eerie-ness.
Yes! The area gets its name from the Black Star Coal Mining Comoany which operated until the early 1900's. In 1831, local ranchers massacred a band of Shoshone Indians who stole horses. It was the last documented SoCal Native American Massacre. It would make for an interesting mini doc!
I know this is an older video, but I would love to see a follow up of just some other hidden gems in the LA Basin. A personal suggestion of mine would Terminal Island Japanese Fishing Village Memorial in San Pedro on Terminal Island.
Please come to my home town, nobody knows about us and I think it’ll be a good episode. It’s called Eureka. It’s in California. We’re 5 minutes from the beach.
Never Stop Exploring If you do come, we have a city all the way at the bottom of our county called Garberville. Do not go there. and be safe if/when exploring the woods as we have growers deep in the woods, so go somewhere like Arcata. I hope this doesn’t scare you off. I’m sorry I forgot to tell you, I’ve lived here my whole life and forget sometimes. The history of Humboldt and the atmosphere is something you won’t get anywhere else.
Live here ( Irvine ) for 8 years love the whole area, OC is a beautiful place to live but freaking expensive. The only thing I hate about living here the majority of people know nothing about their rights and only follow what they been told like 🐑 without asking any questions !!!
I agree, all of these places and things were interesting, but they are not places I think I would actually visit. I would just say "huh, I didn't know that was there. Cool" and then move on.

I think we have all been their on school field trips I've been their like 3 times
Still, a good place and garden.

I just visited Newport Beach but I know Costa Mesa is next town over . It is very beautiful there . The weather was hands down the best
The Noguchi Garden is quite small, but definitely a neat place to visit.
Also crescent beach and moss point in Laguna are definitely some of my favorite places
I so miss my home in the OC. Pirates Cove has always been my fave hideaway since I was 4. ❤️🏖

That’s awesome history.
Can you tell me, where exactly were the sugar beat fields in HB and was there a factory also. I know there was one in Santa ana.
This was an excellent video. I only wish it were longer!!!
Some of the gems of Orange County of California are The Crab Cooker, clam hunting, and the Grunion run.
My dads step dad owned 48% of the property in Orange County including nots berry farm and he also invented nuclear guidance systems at lock ket Martin his name was jack preston look it up .
Holy Jim canyon/trails is pretty neat. Also can’t forget Cooks Corner and Roses Cantina

I grew up near blackstar canyon and rumor had it that the KKK would have congregations in the woods. So that place terrified me!
My youngest child hiked there many times and camps in Yosemite if you scare. . Stay out LOL

Don't forget to visit Bolsa Ave, Little Saigon located in the heart of Westminster for tasty Vietnamese noodles (Pho) and epic car accidents.

I don't find "Part II" anywhere.

Nice video. Volume seems a little bit low though
I really like your videos, but I would stick to the tone of your Salton Sea video. Keep it up, looking forward to more!

Pills, red, blue, yellow !
And a complaint
Live here ( Irvine ) for 8 years love the whole area, OC is a beautiful place to live but freaking expensive.
The only thing I hate about living here the majority of people know nothing about their rights and only follow what they been told like 🐑 without asking any questions !!!
Irvine ain’t Orange County. Irvine never truly been a part of Orange County. We don’t claim y’all
OK👎
Orange city circle.......movies get filmed there like Forrest Gump
I agree, all of these places and things were interesting, but they are not places I think I would actually visit. I would just say "huh, I didn't know that was there. Cool" and then move on.
i live across the street from Noguchi lmao
Background music too loud :( ... difficult to hear what you are saying :'(
Thank goodness for subtitles!!! I turned them on and turned off the sound! :D
These pictures were photo-shopped

Hidden gems in Orange County black star Canyon Silverado Canyon Williams Canyon Majestic Canyon

The Japanese markets!!!
That editing makes it look like a cheap infocommercial, your Salton sea video is leagues ahead of this
Noguchi garden is nothing, just went there the other day the water was off. Nothing!!
PANDEMIC draught situation
Seriously you call them hidden gems of Orange County. What a shame if you dont know any those places in Orange County.
STD. My dad.
OC too close to LA county. Too pricey also.
If you go downtown at smells like pee and s*** everywhere
