Arroyo Seco Trail - Los Padres National Forest
Trail Distance 4.66 Miles
The Arroyo Seco Trail is located in the Ventana Wilderness in Monterey County. A good starting point for this hike is at the Santa Lucia Memorial Park Campground, which has some amazing rock formations. The trail keeps close to the creek as you ascend to the trail junction of Rodeo Flat Trail (4E26), keep left at this junction and continue on up to the last portion of the trail for the final push up to the North Coast Ridge Trail (3E10) and for a spectacular view of the Pacific ocean.

Arroyo Seco Trail Survey - 03-08-2024 - by CoreyLink: Arroyo Seco Trail Date: 03-08-2024 Surveyor Name: Corey Trail description: Trail well maked and easy to find. About 100 yds came across two downed trees, one very hard to cross. The water level is so high the first water crossing was impassible. So beautiful right now, but need to wait until snow melt and the storms calm down. Mode of transport: Hike Trail condition: Needs some work Images: - Arroyo Seco Trail Survey - 09-03-2018 - by Anonymous Surveyor
