Hiking
This trailhead is the main parking area for access to the 850-acre Park. The northwestern trails will take you through a lush redwood forest, and the routes to the southeast provide open ridges, grassy knolls and patchy brush areas. From there, you can enjoy the Butano and Skyline Ridges vistas and views of the Pacific Ocean. There is a $6 parking fee to help support the parks, a small ranger station and restrooms.
