NEW Soberanes Canyon Trail News

Soberanes Canyon Trail Partially Reopens Saturday, April 14, 2018

It will now be opened exclusively from the main, gated trailhead across from Gate 8 of the Garrapata coastal trail. Hikers will be able to proceed to the back of the canyon along the 1.25 mile length of the trail. It will be an out and back hike since the Rocky Ridge portion of the trail will remain closed due to hazardous conditions.
