Hatton Canyon State Park PropertyFebruary 4, 2011
There's been quite a bit of local controversy over Hatton Canyon from Caltrans to State Park ownership. Now, I hear there's more controversy over paving a trail through the canyon for bicycle access and concerns about a ban on being able to walk your dog on State Park property's unpaved trails. I have to say we spotted dog poo everywhere, which doesn't do the pro-dog folks any favors. Until I get my facts straight and instead of simply repeating what others have already written, here are 2 links that provide some basic information: Walking and Hiking on the Monterey Peninsula (scroll down 1/3 of the page) and Big Sur Land Trust. During this hike, we accessed the canyon through the newly constructed tunnel under Carmel Valley Road at Highway 1. Given the proliferation of invasive plant species here, it is definitely land that could use some management.
ps 02/26/14 - My original link to the Big Sur Land Trust no longer exists. It was an informative page about how they're connecting trails. I wonder what happened. Instead, here's a nice map of the area under BSLT purview. And here's a more recent Hatton Canyon habitat post.
