About the Job
Come to Soledad for the job, stay for the experience!
The Community – Soledad, California
What was once an area populated mostly by livestock and Spanish friars, Soledad is now a vibrate community in the heart of Monterey County's bountiful agricultural region. With a newly revitalized downtown and a rich historical presence, Soledad will surely surprise the uninitiated. Visitors and citizens alike can explore Soledad's many wine tasting rooms, take a Soledad family mission trip, hike Pinnacles National Park, or escape the hustle and bustle at Arroyo Seco campground in the Los Padres National Forest.
For the family that is interested in History, Mission Nuestra Senora de la Soledad is a perfect stop on a family mission trip. Soledad is also within easy reach of the well-preserved Mission San Antonio de Padua in southern Monterey County. If you're looking more for a close-to-nature experience, then you'll have to jump into the breathtaking Pinnacles National Park. If you're planning on hiking or birding at Pinnacles National Park, then consider staying a few nights at the Pinnacles Campground, or if you prefer a comfy bed for your evenings, conveniently enough there are a few hotels located nearby to still give you the opportunity to jump into the wilderness with little travel to get there. Come to Soledad for the job, stay at Soledad for the experience!
