Avenales Map 

We will meet at the American Canyon Campground. It is approximately 30 miles from the 101 FWY and Santa Margarita Exit. It is a narrow winding road, and takes approximately 1 hour driving time from the 101FWY.  Two wheel drive vehicles can make it. Carpooling is recommended.  

 

Go through Santa Margarita from the 101 exit (1.5 mi)

 

Turn Right onto HWY 58/Estrada Ave. (0.2 mi)

 

Turn Left onto W Pozo Street/HWY 58 Rd (1.3 mi)

 

After crossing bridge, Stay straight to continue on W Pozo Rd (Note: HWY 58 turns left right after crossing the bridge) (17.2 mi)

 

Turn Right onto E Pozo Rd. (Note: The road signs are confusing at this intersection. W Pozo Road turns into Parkhill Road. You have to make a right turn to be on E Pozo Road.)  (1.7 mi)

 

Stay straight to go onto San Jose Avenales Road to ranch entrance. (The San Jose Avenales Road is paved. The main entrance to the Avenales Ranch is at the large steel gate where the pavement ends. There will be signs showing the way to American Canyon Campground for the remainder of the distance.) (3.1 mi).
