This bench commemorates author and conservationist Wallace Stegner, one of his favorite places. Open fields surround the stone bench and offer sweeping views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Big leaf maples turn yellow in the fall, and the madrone trees produce bright red berries, adding to the landscape's beauty. With luck, you may see wild turkeys foraging for acorns. It's a great spot to take a break and enjoy the scenery.

Cykling

At the convergence of the Long Ridge Trail and Long Ridge Road, you will find the Wallace Stegner Bench. This overlook was one of the favorite places of author and conservationist Wallace Stegner. There are panoramic views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Ocean to be had from here. However, if you come up by bike, the dirt trail is best suited for a touring bike with decent tires or a gravel bike.
