Ohlone Trail reroute

Completed in 2017

The SCMTS Trail Crew and the City of Santa Cruz’s Summer Youth Trail Crew rerouted this badly eroded hiking trail through pristine oak and redwood forest.

In 2017, the SCMTS Trail Crew and the City of Santa Cruz’s Summer Youth Trail Crew completed the Ohlone Trail reroute. The original trail followed a steep, fall-line alignment that was prone to erosion and unenjoyable for hikers. The rerouted trail bypasses the steep fall line and provides a much-improved hiking experience through beautiful oak and redwood forest.


This project was funded by the City of Santa Cruz.
