Mount Umunhum to reopen to public after 60 years in September

Beginning in September Mount Umunhum in the Santa Cruz Mountains will be accessible once again for the first time in 60 years.

A local ballot measure passed in 2014 provided funding to complete a $15.8 million restoration project.

That includes nearly five miles of new trails.

From Mount Umunhum views extend from the Monterey peninsula to Mount Tam and on a clear day, you can see the Sierra Nevada.

The grand opening weekend is scheduled for September 16th and 17th.
