Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve
The Sierra Azul Preserve, managed by Midpen, spans over 19,000 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, showcasing a diverse landscape that includes grasslands, chaparral, oak woodlands, and riparian corridors. This area not only serves as a crucial habitat for various wildlife species but also offers 26 miles of multiuse trails for hiking, dog walking, biking, and horseback riding.
Significant for its cultural history, the preserve is home to Mount Umunhum, a prominent peak with deep ties to Native American traditions and World War II military history. Visitors can explore the natural beauty while engaging with the rich stories of the land, including its transformation from agricultural use to a protected wilderness.
