Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve offers great hiking through 2,900 acres of beautiful mixed conifer forests, offering breathtaking views of both the coast and the desert on a clear day.
The Five Oaks trail winds around the mountainside through a series of switchbacks. The hike is a peaceful retreat from the main road, which is open for multi-use activities.
With an elevation of 5,353 feet, the summit is open on the weekends and major holidays from April thru October.

The mid-summit gate is open on the weekends year round except for weather related closures.
Due to the trail altitude (4,100 feet at parking and 5,353 feet at the summit), this hike is considered moderately strenuous.
Dogs are permitted as long as they are leashed. Please park on Farmer Road. Bring plenty of water and be prepared for sudden weather changes.
