Fort Ord National Monument Badger Hills Trail Head

Miles and miles of trails with views that are nice but not breathtaking. It has a few moderate hills (most are less than a 1K feet elevation gain). It’s free but it requires hikers to leave before sunset. It’s a great place to get a good workout. The restroom does not have any way to wash hands so if you plan to use it I’d advise to bring sanitizer.

I grew up near the Fort Ord area. I was fortunate enough to enjoy all the wonderful scenery is provides. The mountain bike trails are insane! I have gotten lost, and some are for the more experienced biker. Please exercise caution when riding. There is a great variety of trails though, some are easier. You can hike in the mountains, and can take horses. Near Fort Ord area is toro park, a nice place to have a picnic and more wonderful trails. Happy trailing!

Think endless ocean of leonine grass blowing in the wind, framed by California Oaks and hills, and you’ve got Fort Ord. These are great bike trails, but be warned, there are lots and lots of uphills. Bring water, your camera, and legs of steel. Great area, have fun.

I came here on a nice summer evening, the weather was beautiful. All the trails were nice and clean and flat. They had many uphill trails that are great for power walking or with a group. I took my mountain bike on this day and boy I was getting a workout, I found it very challenging to ride all the way uphill. On the way down was really exciting and thrilling highly recommend this place and be aware of snakes!

Run here it’s very nice, good cleanup and keep up.,

Came here to shoot photographs of the abandoned buildings. There aren’t many unfortunately but it’s a good place to go hiking or bike riding. There are closed off trails and signs that say «no trespassing» so be careful, security will come around.
