Selected Hikes
Anytime is a great time to hike or backpack in the Ventana Wilderness! I've collected photos from some Ventana backpacking trips here.
Hiking or backpacking into Ventana can be a magical experience. It is accessible year round, and the summer fog creates its own weather and has allowed the old growth redwoods to thrive despite being on the central California coast.
