garland ranch regional park印象

This regional park is pretty well maintained. The trails are clearly marked but it is always a good idea to pick up a map at the visitors center and leave the $1 donation. As this is also a very popular area for horse riding the map gives you an idea which trails are closed to horses and where you don't have to look down too much not to step into their droppings. So select trails with a gate and you are safe and can enjoy the vegetation.

Lots of trails. Some shaded. Some not. Climb to the top for views of the valley. There are information boards about the fauna and flora. And a gallery with art and photos of the region.

Hiked the Garzas Creek trail. Lots of ups and downs with the creek flowing through and spectacular views of Carmel Valley from the "Ups". The trail was well maintained, but hiking boots are recommended. We went on a Friday during the day, so not very crowded. You share the trail with dogs and horses, but no bikes. Very healthy looking poison oak along the sides of the trail. Most of the trail was in the shade and there was an occasional breeze. It can probably get pretty toasty here in warmer weather and also on trails that aren't as shaded. I would anticipate that it's probably pretty crowded on the week ends. Parking was free and easy. Maps are available at the visitors center. It was March, so there were some wild flower displays along the trail.

Wow, great weather, great views and an invigorating hike was enthusiastically enjoyed over the Labor Day holiday weekend!! It was obviously a well liked place by others as well because there were a number of hikers partaking of this wondrous place! The fact that it was only 2.5miles from where we were staying made it just that much more attractive!

I used to ride horses all over these hills. Now it is a County Regional Park. That means that everyone gets to use this land. Well behaved dogs are welcome. There is a self guided interpretative trail that has great history on the how the Native Americans used poison oak and acorns, and even a grinding stone.Also, there is an old farmhouse that is now a museum. This trail can be as steep or as flat as you like, it can be as long or as short as you like. I love that once a private property has been turned into a park for all to enjoy! Great Land use!

Any walker can find pleasure here. There is a visitors center and ALL the trails are mapped out....truly a nature experience

Loved the maintained trails, and that horses are allowed (even though I don't ride). There are ticks so be careful when you are done hiking to check!

Overall, the hiking was awesome. Ended up doing about 4 different trails, 9.16 miles and one butt kicker of a trail/loop. The scenery is gorgeous. VERY friendly people out there, great dog park/recreation area for dogs. Will be making Garland Ranch my new hiking grounds!

Great example of what CA was like, covered with oak trees before white people figured out ways to make money here. There a numerous golf courses--during a critical drought!

nice park,, go uphill to get away from the highway noise. In the shade can be cool. lots of dogs, some off leash so if that bothers you beware. We like dogs so it was nice. Signs for mountain lions at present but note it is more dangerous to cross a street or get in your car.
