Rattlesnake Campground, Santa Lucia Range, California     Custom Search   All these hikes are very beautiful, and the forest is a wonderful place, but you have to be very careful. Never hike out into the wilderness by yourself. You could trip, slip, twist an ankle, lose your canteen, or lose your flashlight. There are wild boars all over the woods, so be prepared to deal with wild boars. The razorbacks are not to be tangled with. There are stories of hikers who were killed by wild boars, and remember never to corner or frighten a wild animal. Even a deer or a fawn could bite your fingers off.  And just because it says that there's golfing there and kayaking there and swimming and white water rafting, DON'T count on it. You don't know who's making these posts.       Take a topographical map with you and ask the local rangers if you may enter that area. It could be a fire hazard, and you could be trapped in a raising forest fire. And there might not even be a drop of water at the campground after   you hike 12 miles in the hot summer sun, so remember everything you read on this website is not always interpreted the way that you want it to be in.
