Los Flores Ranch Mountain Bike Ride
At 1,774 acres (nearly 2.8 square miles), Los Flores Ranch Park is the first of its kind regional open space park in the Santa Maria Valle and is operated by the City of Santa Maria. Currently, there are about 11-12 miles of trails. The park is open to riding and hiking Friday, Saturday and Sunday with equestrian only access on Thursdays. . The City is currently exploring entry fees.
Volunteer recruitment is also under way to fill critical park maintenance, docent and hiking guide roles. Docents act as ambassadors of the park and will assist in trail monitoring, lead rides and help with future trail design and building. Training will be provided for all volunteers and we hear that docents will not be charged entry fees. Docent training is scheduled on Saturday, June 13th and June 20th at 9 am.
