Fremont Peak State Park is the most sought after weekend getaway destination from Monterey, California. The Fremont Peak SP offers some of the beautiful views of Monterey Bay from the higher peaks of its hiking trails. Visitors can even enjoy views of San Benito Valley, Salinas Valley, and the Santa Lucia Mountains east of Big Sur.
