Fort Ord National Monument - Hiking area in Marina - Toro Creek Rd, USA

My friends and I did the hike to the top of the Badger hiking trail within Fort Ord National Monument, it offered beautiful views of the Salinas Valley, the trail is steep in areas, make sure to wear proper shoes and stay hydrated. There is a free parking lot at the base of the trail and a restroom. Hikers we encountered on the trail were very friendly and people tend to stay on the marked trails.

Very clear paths; the shortest circular route is about 6 miles / 10k. It is just stunning. So quiet. Parking for free; toilets at parking area

Great park, most of the trails are double track but it's pretty peaceful

We were not hikers, but did make a trip out to see the entrance. Pretty area. Husband did basic training and AIT at Fort Ord in 1975.

Great place to hike! Variety of trail options, from flatter, to challenging! We usually hike the 6 mile loop. Great for bicycles, horses or dogs with many off-leash portions. Fun to watch the goats mow down the hills' overgrowth in the fall.

Good clean trails for MTB.. cab be challenging. Lots of climbing there's some single track... but you got to know the area to string anything substantial together.

Nice place for a stroll, does have quite an incline for those with limited stamina. Saw a few bikes, dog 🐶 walking (on and off leash), joggers, patches of wildflowers, and some horse riding (see videos). Very limited parking though.

Very nice trails and area.. the views are really beautiful... lots of traffic, but everyone seems nice and sticks to themselves. Lots of area to explore and quite a bit of parking for you
