We will follow an easy walking route\, from the parking area to the hacienda. \nWe are so grateful to have Nikki joining us to lead this walk\, and are excited to have her share her incredible wealth of knowledge about this special conserved land. We look forward to walking\, talking\, and learning from Nikki together! \nBring: Snacks or a picnic lunch to enjoy\, closed-toe hiking shoes\, and everything you might need for a half-day of hiking with us. \n\nDistance: 2.5 miles\nTotal ascent: 180 ft\nDifficulty: Easy\nFacilities: A portalet is available at the hacienda\, approximately 1 mile from the parking area.\nTrail conditions: Hikers should expect gravel roads and the occasional narrow livestock passageway.\nCell service: Cell phone service is intermittent at Marks Ranch.

SUMMARY:Join Waitlist: San Jose Creek Trail hike (9-mile) | August 12
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an out-and-back hike from Palo Corona (Rancho Cañada) to San Jose Creek! \n\n\n\nEvery step of this hike was made possible through our partnership with the Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District\, California State Parks\, and Point Lobos Foundation as collaborative members of the Lobos Corona Parkland project — along with generous donors and funders. This inspiring hike will first take us from Palo Corona Regional Park (Rancho Cañada) to the high point of Inspiration Point and the quiet beauty of Animas (“spirit”) Pond. From there\, we cross into former ranchlands (Whisler Wilson). The acquisition of the centrally located Whisler Wilson Ranch by Big Sur Land Trust\, and its subsequent transfer\, played a critical role in the trail connectivity we now enjoy. From there\, we will enjoy peeks of Point Lobos as we dip down\, winding along San Jose Creek and across three beautiful redwood bridges. We will enjoy our picnic lunches before our return hike. This hike is a beautiful reminder that collaboration can bring beautiful change and that our actions are stronger when taken together. We are grateful to our partners and to our donors\, for each step forward that we take together. \nBring snacks and a picnic lunch to enjoy along the hike\, plus everything you need for a day of strenuous backcountry hiking. Sturdy closed-toe hiking shoes are required\, and layers are recommended. \nDistance: 9 miles \nElevation: 1500′ total ascent \nDifficulty: Strenuous \nPace: 2+ mph \nPlease note: While the trails we will be on are well-tended\, this area is known to have extremely high tick densities. Please take extra precautions when preparing for this hike (wear light-colored clothes\, wear pants that can be tucked into socks\, bring and use tick repellent\, etc.) and be sure to do a thorough tick-check following your day with us. \nPlease note that each participant must be individually registered (including kids\, who need to be accompanied by an adult). Hikers must be 15+ years of age. \nJoin the waitlist >>
