  AHHHHHH!!!! Forest of Nisene Marks is like a fairy wonderland! All the hanging greenery, huge trees, bubbling creeks, and moss makes me feel like I'm about to grown literal fairy wings and finish out my days living among the woodland creatures. The proximity to SC is also awesome and convenient!

  A great place to visit and walk amongst redwoods that isn't to far from Capitola. There are almost 40 miles of trails in among the redwoods. The paths are all well marked & mapped. A humbling hike in nature.

  Beautiful forest to hike. The river crossing is fun if you dare hop on rocks to cross it. You can always find a fallen branch before hopping on the rocks to keep your balance. Trails can be a little confusing but it's the best way to discover other trails.

  Absolutely beautiful place!!! Various trails depending how long of a hike you would like to do. Definitely recommend! Be sure to bring proper footwear if you're thinking of crossing the creeks, there's a few trails you have to do so.

  Lush Coastal Redwood Forest. Over 10,000 acres of trails, streams, and Redwoods. This place is THE GEM of Aptos. Run here, ride here, walk here. Whatever you do, this forest is well worth it. Parking is free along the curb and in the dirt lot before entering the park. It's $8 once you reach the ranger kiosk. If there was a 6-star option, this place would get it.
