Fremont Peak State Park
Wanna see forever? This is the spot for it—across the Monterey Bay and into the universe.
Astonishing, expansive views of Monterey Bay, the Santa Lucia Mountains, the Salinas Valley, the San Benito Valley—just wow.

This is a prime park to visit if you're looking for peace and quiet—Try to arrive during the daytime so your headlights don't disturb stargazers.

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...
