Rancho Del Oso Nature and History Center

Rancho Del Oso Nature and History Center interprets the cultural and natural history of the area of Rancho del Oso (ranch of the bear) which became part of California's Big Basin Redwoods State Park, in the 1970s.

The center is located on Highway 1 16 miles north of Santa Cruz, California.

Rancho del Oso has trails that traverse the park habitats.

The site is also near the end of the hiking enthusiast's Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail.

Only trails provide access to the Big Basin headquarters.
