Hello Ocean Lover, Let's meet go on a Green exercise wellness hike, enjoy the natural beauty of the Healing Sea, Beautiful Ocean views for our physical health and mental Well-being 😇

Sometimes all you need is an easy stroll by the ocean to refresh your spirits. This track along the Pacific Ocean north of Santa Cruz is one of the best places in California to do just that.

You'll see gulls, geese, pelicans, and other waterfowl and you might hear the distant bark of passing sea lions. If your timing's right, you might even spot passing whales on their annual migrations.

Wilder Ranch State Park is a CA State Park on the Pacific Ocean coast north of Santa Cruz. The park was formerly a dairy ranch, and many of the ranch buildings have been restored for use as a museum.

Another bonus: touring the grounds of a farm replete with antique cars, farm machinery, and other remnants of farming life along the Pacific in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This track is very basic: just start out from the parking lot at the Wilder Ranch State Park visitors center and follow Old Cove Landing Trail along the ocean. Eventually, it turns northward again and loops back to where you started.

The trail surface is a natural surface (dirt, sand, rocks). It is typically at least 8 feet wide. There are railroad crossings ...

The whole trail is estimated to be in the mostly gentle (5% or less) grade category. All-terrain tires or motorized equipment may be needed for the surface type and grade.

Meet: 1:30pm at the parking lot trailhead near the restrooms
*Hike time: 2pm

Mount Tamalpais State Park is a CA State Park, in Marin County. The primary feature of the park is the 2,571 feet Mount Tamalpais. The park contains mostly redwood and oak forests. The mountain itself covers around 25,000 acres.

Hike from the Pacific Ocean all the way up to the Pantoll Ranger Station. This route offers spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, rushing streams, and beautiful waterfalls.

The hike begins along the Dipsea Trail in the town of Stinson Beach. It climbs gradually with many ocean views until you reach its junction with the Steep Ravine Trail. Be sure to turn around and take in the incredible views of Stinson Beach on your way up this section.

The Steep Ravine Trail, climbing 1000 ft. to Pantoll Ranger Station in 1.5 miles, is one of the best hiking trails in Marin County. The water rushing through Webb Creek has created a spectacularly steep, lush canyon shaded by towering redwood trees and populated with a wide variety of local flora and fauna. This dense forest looks like something out of a fairy tale.

There are two significant waterfalls along Webb Creek in Steep Ravine. The upper falls requires climbing up the waterfall via a 10 ft. high ladder (my favorite hike). The waterfalls on Mount Tamalpais are best seen in the winter or early spring months or after there has been a lot of rain
