Hobart Bluff is a very popular hike for local families, the bluff itself presenting a wide-ranging viewpoint for the adults and plenty of knee-scraping scrambling opportunities for the kids. The hike, an easy stroll along the Pacific Crest Trail that skirts Hobart Peak, ends with a 200-foot ascent to a rugged cliff edge on a small plateau vegetated by white-leaf manzanita, mountain mahogany, and gnarly western juniper. You can also reach Hobart Bluff (and avoid driving the potholed Soda Mountain Road) by taking the Pacific Crest Trail from its crossing of Highway 66 – about seven miles round-trip.
