Nisene Marks Crossroads, Aptos

This is within the boundaries of Nisene Marks State Park, but off in a corner of the park that most people know nothing about. There is a small creek at the turnaround spot for this walk. You might bring a small towel, if you feel like splashing around.

Directions

Southbound Soquel Avenue, just past Cabrillo College, in Aptos. Turn Left onto Vienna Drive. Continue on Vienna all the way till it ends (about 1 mile). Turn left onto Wilshire Drive. This will end in half-a-block at Danube Drive. Park anywhere on these two streets. Our meet-up spot is the intersection of Wilshire and Danube. The trailhead is right next door.
