About this place
Added by Maureen Casey
Once a working cattle ranch, this amazing trail brings you to an amazing view at Inspiration Point, where you feel like you're soaring over Carmel.
This magnificent trail was recently converted into part of the Monterey Regional Parks System. Walk through pastures of cows, through coast oaks, up a steep incline with vast views of Carmel Valley, Carmel and the Pacific Ocean up to the top where a picnic table awaits you at Inspiration Point.
This 3.75-mile trail is part of the very large 4,300 acre park. The rest of the park is not developed yet nor open to the public but this trail is definitely a treat!
Getting There:
The Palo Corona Trailhead is just off Cabrillo Highway.
