Located just inside the park entrance, this group campground holds up to 50 people. While it is a walk to the top of the peak, there are several trailheads just outside the site that makes wandering through the beautiful scenery to achieve the stunning views of Monterey Bay well worth the journey.
The Fremont Peak climb is called a climb for a reason. For bikers seeking out a challenge, Fremont Peak is a great route with challenging gradients along the way. At the top, your hard work will be rewarded with a view of the Moss Landing smokestacks and San Juan Bautista. Some parts of this route are uncovered, so if you're going in the heat of Read more...
