      This trail system is primarily in the Open Space to the north of the Fort Ord National Monument along Gigling Road. These trails link into the Fort Ord National Monument trails but are on unincorporated Monterey County Lands. They are primarily easy flowing trails suitable for beginning riders (thus the "Happy Trails").
