Located 24 miles west of Los Banos and 20 miles east of Gilroy on Dinosaur Point Road off of Highway 152. The park is located along the scenic, historic Pacheco Pass; on the west side of San Luis Reservoir, east of Hollister.
Nice, well groomed trails, traveling through some cow grazed fields. The terrain is moderate, and we saw some cool birds around. Parking fee is $10, be sure to bring cash or check.
A great afternoon or day hike option! Nice rolling landscape and clean trails. I highly recommend buying a year-long golden poppy state park pass so that you do not have to pay for parking every time you visit :-) it is very well worth the $125 and the pass is good at any California State Park.
Nice place to visit on the top of Pacheco Pass (highway 152). Summer is usually warm, and windy.
We've never hiked here but it was spring break so we found a new park. Parking is self pay $10. No app options so bring cash. We hiked a 3.7mile loop which peaked with amazing views. Beautiful day. Worth the stop.
