Hiking and Biking
One of our favorite local places to hike. Huge views of the bay and zero crowds on the western edge of Santa Cruz at Moore Creek Preserve, a 246-acre greenbelt. A peaceful hike with open meadows and Redwood canyons. We like to park by Pacific Shores Apartments at 1240 Shaffer Road and Hwy 1. Walk across Hwy 1 to the trail. Very limited parking on Meder Street.

All kinds of biking and hiking trails. Convenient and peaceful walk to the park, especially early morning or early evening. Lots of deer around sunset, sometimes coyotes. Enjoy a 360 degree view from the Observation Deck, a 5.3 mi. loop, a moderately challenging hike. There's a QR code at the park's kiosk with an downloadable hiking trial map.
