Pico Blanco Scout Reservation is very fortunate to have a National Forest trailhead right at the edge of camp. Without driving anywhere, you can head off into the wilderness and explore the redwood lined Little Sur River, the waterfalls of the Circular Pools, the vast porteros (meadows) of the South Fork of the Little Sur, the marble topped Mt. Pico Blanco, and the remote Window, the namesake of the Ventana Wilderness. You can even hike out to the beautiful Big Sur Coast.
All units are encouraged to do some sort of hike during their stay at Pico. Day hikes are offered on Adventure Day, staff are available to lead hike to our various outpost camps for overnighters, and nature hikes and the famous star trek are available throughout the week. We have hikes for all abillity levels that go to a a diverse range of destinations, some taking an hour while others taking up to a week.
For Scouts seeking a week long backcountry experience, our Pico Pathfinders high adventure program is a great opportunity.
Our staff is just as excited to head into the backcountry as you are, so feel free to ask your favorite staffer for good hikes. You might even want to ask him along!
