Sites at the East parking lot also have grills. Restrooms are conveniently located nearby. Many sites have spectacular views of the Monterey Bay and the world-renowned Monterey Peninsula, making a picnic at Jacks Peak a must for any visitor to the Monterey Peninsula. Almost 8.5 miles of riding and hiking trails wind through cathedral-like forests, and to breathtaking ridgetop vistas. The Skyline Self-Guided Nature Trail traverses the summit of Jacks Peak.
Brochures describing features along the trail are available at the entrance station.
Visitors can also perform other passive activities including nature study, photography or relaxation.
