First visit I’ve known of Hopkins Wilderness Park for over 30 years. I never been promoted to visit till today after breakfast from the Original Pancake House. Ohhh what I’ve been missing. I’d describe this place in a much smaller scale to Central Park in New York or Griffith Park in Los Angeles. This place offers much less than the aforementioned grand municipal parks but the tiny little secret, the hidden gem in this park is the NEVER ENDING PACIFIC OCEAN BREEZE. If you want a hidden treasure just a few miles from the beach a sanctuary in the middle of a concrete jungle surroundings this is Your place!
