Purisima Creek Redwood Preserve
Sierra Azul Preserve, managed by Midpen, spans over 19,000 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, showcasing a diverse landscape that includes grasslands, woodlands, and various wildlife habitats. This expansive preserve offers 26 miles of multiuse trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and dog walking, while also serving as a prime habitat for mountain lions, deer, bobcats, and coyotes.
Rich in history, Sierra Azul has been home to Native American cultures and later German and Austrian settlers, with the summit of Mount Umunhum historically hosting a Cold War-era radar station. The preserve's Mount Umunhum area, which opened to the public in 2017, features restored landscapes and interpretive displays that connect visitors to the site's heritage and natural beauty.
