Exciting Santa Cruz Biking & Hiking

Santa Cruz County offers hiking and biking trails for those who wish to enjoy the blend of exercise and beautiful scenery, varying from vast redwood groves, the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean against the cliffs, or both! Only minutes away from the our Santa Cruz inn, guests can enjoy the West Cliff walking path that stretches 2.5 miles along the coastline, passing the lighthouse and ending at Natural Bridges State Beach where tide pools are abundant with aquatic life. Big Basin State Park houses the largest continuous stand of ancient redwoods south of San Francisco, presenting both bipeds and hikers alike with 80 miles of trails alongside creeks, waterfalls, and giant trees, some of which link to Castle Rock State Park and the eastern peripheries of the Santa Cruz Mountains. In Felton, Henry Cowell Redwood State Park boasts a wheelchair and stroller accessible Redwood Grove Trail that circles around the park’s oldest and largest tree. Enjoy Santa Cruz biking and hiking while staying at the Casablanca Inn and Bistro.
