Fort Ord National Monument can be found on a former United States Army post which was closed in 1994. The 7,000-acre park is open to visitors throughout the year and offers some of the best trails in the area.
It’s perfect for hiking, mountain biking, or horseback riding, and along the way you’re sure to see some stunning flora and fauna such as wildflowers, coast live oak trees, and a variety of birds. There are several travel companies who provide tours of Fort Ord, allowing you to see many places which are usually off limits to the public such as former training buildings, the former prison, and several other abandoned structures.
