The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, located in Aptos, California, offers a serene escape from the bustling towns along Highway 1, featuring dense second and third-growth redwood forests that rise dramatically from sea level to coastal mountains exceeding 2,600 feet. Established through a generous donation from the Salinas farm family in the 1960s, the park serves as a testament to forest regeneration and natural beauty, showcasing rugged canyons and remnants of its historical logging industry.

Visitors to the park can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including picnicking, hiking, jogging, and biking on over 30 miles of trails in a semi-wilderness setting. Although dogs are welcome in designated areas, they must be kept on leashes, while bicycles are restricted to specific fire roads and trails to maintain the park's natural environment.
