Wilder Ranch State Park

open
E-Bikes Allowed
Wilder Ranch is home to some of Santa Cruz’s most iconic trails and views. On the coastal side of Highway One, trails wind along the bluffs overlooking the Pacific. On the inland side of the highway, trails climb up rolling grasslands that overlook the ocean, and dip down into verdant redwood-timbered drainages. Wilder offers miles of fire roads and singletrack options.

Wilder Ranch is home to some of Santa Cruz’s most iconic riding. On the coastal side of Highway One, trails wind along the bluffs overlooking the Pacific. On the backcountry side of the highway, trails climb up rolling grasslands that overlook the ocean, and dip down into verdant redwood-timbered drainages. Wilder offers miles of fire roads and singletrack options, including SCMTS' Enchanted Loop reroute (shown above) and West Engelsmans reroute (shown below).
