Details

Join us for an invigorating coastal hike at Wilder Ranch State Park, just north of Santa Cruz!

Experience the beauty of nature on this 4.4-mile Engelsmans Loop, mainly featuring flat and well-maintained trails. This relaxed-paced, social-friendly hike is perfect for those looking to connect with others while enjoying the great outdoors!

What to bring:
- Comfortable walking shoes to keep you energized
- Layers to stay cozy (it can get breezy)
- Water and snacks to keep your spirits high
- Optional: hat, sunscreen, and your camera for capturing memories

We’ll gather in the main parking lot by the restrooms at 10:00 a.m. Parking costs $10, but it's free with a California State Parks pass. After our hike, we can unwind near the historic ranch area or grab a meal in town for those who are interested.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to recharge and connect with nature and friends! Hope to see you there!
