Ranchos Walk 2022 

On Saturday, September 10th, take a walk through history and follow a high ridge trail that links Rancho Los Alamitos and Rancho Los Cerritos. The 9.4-mile scenic walking route will start near the entrance to Rancho Los Alamitos and then connect the CSULB campus, Reservoir Hill, Hilltop Park in Signal Hill, Willow Springs Park and finish with a celebration at Rancho Los Cerritos. Once at Rancho Los Cerritos, walkers can tour the historic adobe and gardens, listen to historic information provided by docents in period costume and enjoy food and drink available for purchase. Walkers also have the option to register for abbreviated 3.5 and 6-mile routes, starting from Willow Springs and Reservoir Hill respectively. Register for your preferred route today!
