For Kids
Ohlone Bluffs does not have much climbing but it has a long drive. It’s mostly flat. At Ohlone Bluffs you can see many wild animals including pelicans, seals, and hikers. If you don’t want to do this you’ll have to climb. This trail is the only trail with hikers and without hills. So if you’re a beginner and you go, you’re going to need to to do this.
For Adults
Ohlone Bluffs is a pancake-flat ride along the cliffs above the ocean. It requires no skill, and you can go as far as you want then come back again. With any luck you’ll see pelicans. Make sure you take a look down into each of the (many) coves you go past because there’s a good chance you’ll see seals too.
Avoid windy days! – although the waves can be spectacular.
You can get down into some of the coves too, which are mostly sandy but you may find some rockpools.
You can turn this into a longer loop through the rest of the (incredibly beautiful) Wilder Ranch State Park – but it changes the character of the ride entirely – kids need to be much fitter.
