It's a great hike if you walk all the way down the hill on the concrete road and when you get to the bottom you will see the graffiti house. Then all you have to do is walk the stairs back up and you're right near where you started. If you go behind the graffiti house there is also more graffiti sprayed on the walls and on an old water tower. I wonder what this place used to be over 50 years ago?

Straight hiking baby!! Yardy know!! Bring plenty of water (and some snacks if you're willing to carry some weight) and come early in the morning; make sure you have an idea of where you're going too. For a first time hiker, it's potentially daunting because of the urban vibe that comes off from the place, but there's multiple paths you can follow, and it doesn't hurt to come with others. As always, be aware of your surroundings. Good luck out there babes!!!

One of my hiking places but it is pretty creepy if you go along. Depending on season you go, the tall grass can be heavy with ticks.

Cool place with lots of hidden photographic scenes. Short and not to strenuous walk. Stairs are steep but also quite fun. Many of the buildings are falling apart. Not much parking at the trail head.

Do you enter it from Old Ranch Road? The gate to Fire Road looked closed and more like to a residential property, with a camera.

Park by the residential area and make your way down to the start of the trail

So many ticks when the weather is warm. Horrible. My Australian shepherd got at least 50 ticks here. Miserable. Great hike til you get covered in ticks. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE

Add brewers yeast powder to your dog's food. Ticks will stay away from her. My shepherd and I were there in August and no problems

Has the building been torn down or is it still there ?

Déborah | Aug 26, 2018
Lisa H | Aug 26, 2019

Depends on which building you're talking about—as of July 2019 the powerhouse and stables (?) are standing but according to some hiking guides there used to be far more buildings that have since been removed. The powerhouse is boarded up and the stable looks like it's about to blow.

Does it cost to get in and does parking cost

Traci Carpenter | Aug 26, 2018
Mark Barrett | Aug 26, 2018

Nope, completely free. We parked in residential parking and there is no entrance fee.

How long of a walk/hike is this? To see the house (graffiti/NAZI house).

Melody M | Aug 26, 2018

The entire trail is about 3.75 miles, but there are trail bypasses that make it a bit shorter.
