Mitteldorf Preserve & Marks Ranch Open for Hiking
There’s no better way to celebrate Earth Day/Month and Arbor Day than getting outdoors! And we have the perfect spots for you to get grounded with Mother Earth and experience the wild beauty of our nature preserves. Mitteldorf Preserve has reopened so treat yourself to a walk in the redwoods or head to Marks Ranch and walk in the wildflowers. Reserve your hike here.
In support of our neighbors in Palo Colorado Canyon and Big Sur, we have suspended hiking at Glen Deven Ranch. Reducing traffic on Highway 1 and through the canyon is important during these challenging times. We appreciate your understanding!
