The Alisal Hiking Trail is a 2.8 mile loop with a 541-foot elevation gain. Total hike time is roughly 1.5 hours. From the front desk to the trail head is .4 miles. We recommend starting the loop to the left, as the right side is a steeper climb.

On the north side of the loop there is an additional trail that takes you up to the Vista Point (turn off indicated by star on the map).

To find the trailhead, walk along the paved roads behind the hotel rooms. After you pass the last room on Golf Row, turn right onto the Lake Road. Do not continue straight on the paved road that says “Private Property”. After turning right on the Lake Road, walk roughly one minute and the trail head is on your left hand side right before the first gate.

Please do note that beyond the turnoff for the trail head, the Lake Road is only accessible to Alisal vehicles.

We always encourage guests to hike with a buddy, bring water and have a cellphone with you. There is wildlife on the Ranch and your safety is our priority.
