Sierra Azul Preserve is the largest open space managed by Midpen, encompassing over 19,000 acres of wilderness in the Santa Cruz Mountains, featuring diverse landscapes from chaparral and oak woodlands to serpentine grasslands. It offers 26 miles of multiuse trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, along with the notable Mount Umunhum peak standing at 3,486 feet, which holds cultural significance for the Amah Mutsun people.
The preserve not only serves as a critical habitat for various wildlife, including mountain lions, deer, and bobcats, but also showcases a rich history shaped by Native American traditions and early European settlers. With two public areas currently available and plans for future accessibility, visitors can explore the natural beauty and historical narratives of this remarkable landscape.
