In this video we visit the Land of Medicine Buddha in Santa Cruz, California. This Buddhist retreat provides easy access to peaceful hiking trails great for all abilities. Along the way the trail is dotted with prayer flags and other Buddhist touches which adds to the uniqueness of this hike. There were also numerous banana slugs along the trail as well! On our trip we did the 6 mile loop trail within the LMB. I would definitely recommend getting on the trail early if you're interested in this hike, as parking spots are limited. The trails above the LMB also connect with Nisene Marks State Park and for the more adventurous this would be a great way to start a longer day hike into the neighboring park.
