Quail Hollow Ranch’s 300-acre space offers scenic trails, majestic vistas and abundant wildlife. Located in Felton, it is also home to one of the best local examples of a sandhill habitat with four species of plants found only in this environment: The Santa Cruz wallflower, Ben Lomond spineflower, Ben Lomond buckwheat, and the silverleaf manzanita. The hike will have a 600-foot elevation gain and has several vistas. There are picnic tables about two thirds of the way through our hike.
