Backcountry Weekend

For one spectacular weekend this spring, Henry W. Coe State Park will open the gate at Bell's Station on Hwy 152 east of Gilroy and allow registered attendees to drive along Kaiser-Aetna Rd beyond the Dowdy Ranch Visitor Center.

Hikers and mountain bikers will have a unique opportunity to see and enjoy some of the most remote areas of Henry W. Coe State Park's 87,000 acres when its green hills are filled with wildflowers. Camp for one or two nights or just come up for the day.

Advanced registration is required and will begin March 1 at coepark.net.
