I literally JUST came home from walking the Old Cove Landing and Ohlone Bluff trails this morning, turned on KZread, and saw this! 🌼🙂 Wilder Ranch is a great place! 🌼🌼🌼

Santa Cruz is beautiful. I’ve not spent enough time exploring there. The bluff hike reminds me a bit of Montana de oro state park bluff trail. Or the bluff trail just north or cayucos. CA has some amazing coastal views

This is an awesome place to just relax with the family. Great find, I need to go here one day.

Wow each view of the coves were mesmerizing, something about the ocean and cliffs. Beautiful , thanks Josh!!! Loved this one!

When you live in California, anything below 65 degrees is cold 🥶 that’s sweater weather alright! 😁

I agree. 84 degrees all day every day. But we do need some rain!

My most vivid California memories are in SC & monterrey County to witness the butterfly migration that usually at its peak between halloween and Thanksgiving... best family days ever when my son was a baby was in the butterfly groves!! Great footage as always!

Wow that sounds incredible!

This is a great time to walk the coast at Wilder. Pumpkins in the fields. If time, go all the way to 4 mile beach. A fav view is to see the surfers with boards running thru the artichoke fields in their wet suits to get to coast to catch the waves.

When our kids were young, we took them on a tour of the Wilder Ranch. It was awesome. We really enjoyed it. So good to see the park again! I loved the ranch house. The son made a way for his mother to open the back door with her foot on a button outside the house. It was really cool. Thanks for sharing this park.

What a lovely hike with so much to stop and offer along the way! Really got to love something like that with history injected into it.. and animals! 😄 The view of the coast is pretty spectacular too! Hard to imagine sailing ships there. Bet that was a sight in the day!

The Red 1923 McCormick Deering Tractor I donated to the park in 1994. At the time it ran like new and painted bright red. I need to take a trip from my home in Springfield, Oregon and go down there and see if I can start it. That would be a thrill.

What an amazing place!

Spectacular views and I love how accessible the trails are to the coast

Hermoso California y la narración 👌🌎😘

Fern grotto, great picnic spot, not too much wind, tide out, go into the cave. Sometimes naked sun bathers. Sometimes a hobo camping in the brambles above nearby. Nice cove to get in the water, but it gets deep quickly, churning water! Inland from the farm nice hill hikes, good place to mountain bike. Check state park website for docent tours, open house events, gift shop hours (usually weekends only). Milking barn extends/spans the creek. Apple trees plentiful in the fall, summer blackberries along the hill to the homestead. Great place for children to run, bike, picnic by the homestead. Stay away from the bluff edges! They are crumbling, and under cut! Weekends are busy, be there at opening time. Mid week very peaceful. Buy an annual park state pass, save $$$! One of the best not super busy state parks!

That's awesome!

The tree at 2:10 looks like a Cypress. Your newer progression of videos are more subtle balanced and smooth; not too much, not too little.

I’ve done this trail and highly recommend! There was hardly anyone there and the views are incredible.

Yea, it wasn't busy for me either and it was beautiful!

Very informative. Thank you!

Loved it .. GR8 JOB !!!

great as always. thank you .

I live near that place but I've never stop by to hike. I always go to either Panther Beach or shark fin cove. Everyone knows about shark fin cove because of all the Instagram post but just 2 mins south is Panther Beach which is bigger. It's actually 2 beaches that are divided by a tall cliff. The only way you can go to the other part of the beach is when it's low tide and you can walk through a arch/ hole in the wall. Also you can walk on top of the wall that divides the beaches and get some cool views with cliffs on both sides.

Thanks for the idea for our next coastal trip!

Thanks for the video. Making a trip plan for next week.

Hope you enjoy it! Be sure to check out Shark Fin Cove which is pretty incredible and close by

So jealous, and also the fact you can share with family without taking a plane is so nice!

Thanks for the comment, I agree it has been pretty special to have trips with the family!

I’m like 1 hour drive from SC and I was never there! Thanks for the new hiking idea!

All of the norcal coastline has a very short period of good weather to hike. Most of the year it's all clouds and sea fog.

I rode mt. bikes there, you only hiked a fraction of the coast trail. Also the bulk of the trails in the park are on the east side of coast highway.

What a wonderful hike! Loved the seals.

Cool! I drive past that all the time, and have wondered if stopping would be worth it. Looks like it!

I'm going to save this for spring 2022. Hoping to see green meadows or wildflowers along route

1:50 Fun fact ...FLEETWOOD MAC filmed there music video LITTLE LIES here!!

👍🏻😍🌊

That's one thing about NorCal coastline. It is cold and foggy. Bring a sweatshirt next time that says "Through my lens". Free advertising.

Is this hike flat? I can’t do incline.

Yes, it's flat. The Old Cove Landing Trail is accessible for both young and old. The trail is only about 2 miles in length.
