Wilder Ranch Engleman to Enchanted Loop Trails

## Details

** IMPORTANT! **
**PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION SO THAT YOU ARE ADEQUATELY PREPARED AND COMFORTABLE WITH THE STATED LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY**

Please RSVP only if you are committed to attend. Reevaluate your availability a few days before the hike and withdraw at that time if you can no longer commit. This allows others to attend.

I figure this is probably our least muddy hiking option after a week of much appreciated rain. This loop includes a nice cross-section of Wilder Ranch State Park's varied terrain. Trails are beautiful and well-maintained with gorgeous open hilltop ocean views as well as deep and densely forested canyons.
We’ll be meeting at the main parking lot and start our hike from there at 9:00 sharp. Wilder is a State Park so you will need a park pass or pay the fee at the gate. Here's our route:
