A great hike
Goating strong: Go on a hike on Goat Hill Trail in Butano State Park, an easy 1.75-mile one-way path that can be linked into a moderate 5.1-mile loop with Olmo Fire Road, Six Bridges Trail and the more rugged Año Nuevo Trail. Afterward, visit Harley Farms Goat Dairy in Pescadero. This year the farm is expanding the goat flock, making the coming months an especially lively time to visit.
