Wilder Ranch State Park July 16, 2025

Twelve Rambler hikers, led by John Zhang, explored the scenic Wilder Ranch State Park on July 16th, enjoying a four-mile beach walk filled with natural beauty and coastal charm.

We began our route by visiting Wilder Beach Lookout, followed by Fern Grotto Beach, and finally arriving at Sand Plant Beach. Along the way, we walked atop coastal cliffs on the trail, looking down at the powerful waves crashing below and observing lazy seals lounging on the rock. The coastline was beautifully shaped by rocky coves, revealing a striking landscape of unique rock formations and dramatic ocean view. It was a refreshing and inspiring day out by the sea. After the hike, we went to Cafe Brasil for a tasty and unique lunch.
