| | The Coast Ridge Trail is very overgrown and is almost a solid wall of brush Says Anonymous
Hiking here in California is a tremendous idea. Finally, hiking time is here again, and North Coast Ridge Trail in Monterey County, California is the wilderness at its best. There are many tremendous backcountry trails in California, and one of these is North Coast Ridge Trail in Monterey County. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry trek it just one way. This is one of many wilderness |
|
trails in the surrounding vicinity. Now, this is roughly a 3-day backcountry walk, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. North Coast Ridge Trail is not very next to Salinas at all, but it is a wonderful sanctuary from the city. Every single California backcountry
| | trail is charming in its own way. With its 18 miles of walking distance; it's considered a longer trek. A normal amount of rain falls here at North Coast Ridge Trail; throughout the month of January you get the most rain around here, and July is when it's the driest.

to explore during backpacking season. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in place. North Coast Ridge Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,385 feet which is about average. The great outdoors trails of the Santa Lucia Range are the best way
to enjoy these mountaintops. You spend the whole trek in roughly the same elevation zone which means the conditions are about the same from start to finish. This great outdoors trail is a very long great outdoors trail having an average number of uphill miles which makes this a

Briefly about the general area:
Why not stop by Gamboa Point also since you're here, and if you came to camp Ojito Campground is a pleasant spot to do that. If you
wish for a little side spree, try South Fork Devils Canyon, and camping at Gamboa Campground is always a tremendous experience. This is a really good river. You must undeniably dedicate some time to Deer Pasture if you're here at North Coast Ridge Trail, and Slates Hot Springs
is always fun to check out.
This river is a wonderful place to visit. A perfect site like Lost Valley here at North Coast Ridge Trail is too good to miss. You simply ought to love North Coast Ridge Trail. Put some time aside to spend at Redwood Spring while you're here at North
Coast Ridge Trail; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Arroyo Seco River. Having a pleasant time in the Santa Lucia Range is painless. Lots of folks from Salinas come to North Coast Ridge Trail, and needless to say North Fork Big Creek
is a pretty stream that is worth visiting.
But wait, there's more exciting things to do in the Santa Lucia Range. Why not explore nearby Higgins Creek if you're here at North Coast Ridge Trail, and get your pulse rate up on the delightful whitewater of Arroyo Seco River.
