Hickory Oaks Trail, Mountain hiking trail in Santa Cruz County, United States
The Hickory Oaks Trail extends for 1.3 miles through oak woodlands, featuring diverse plant life and connecting to the Long Ridge Open Space Preserve.
The trail formation resulted from local conservation efforts by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District to preserve natural corridors in Santa Cruz County.
Local naturalists frequently organize guided walks along the trail to educate visitors about California native plants and regional wildlife patterns.
The trailhead, accessible from Skyline Boulevard, provides limited parking spaces and requires visitors to bring water due to lack of facilities.
During spring months, the path reveals numerous wildflower species while offering clear weather views stretching toward the Pacific coastline.
