The Salmon Creek Trail is a scenic 5 mile trail in the Silver Peak Wilderness in Monterey County. The trail connects Highway 1 and the South Coast Ridge Road. This is also a trail that you can hike as long as you like, turning back when you run out of steam, or stopping at either the Spruce (2 miles in) or Estrella (3.25 miles in) camps for a nice break before turning back.
The Silver Peak Wilderness covers 31,555 acres of the Santa Lucia Range along the central coast of California between Monterey and Cambria. There are many additional trails and campsites to be found.
