About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

A POST Representative will share a few words about POST's decades of conservation success before hiking groups leave to explore a strenuous 6.25 mile hike with 1100 feet of elevation gain.

POST has made many contributions towards protecting Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve and Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve over the past several decades, which are now managed by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. This area contains diverse plant ecosystems and water features that make it an important habitat for a variety of wildlife. This hike will feature views of a lake, pond, and stunning redwood groves. The area also contains bedrock mortars, highlighting the presence of Native peoples in this area since time immemorial. We will stop at Borel hill for sweeping views of the bay, the Diablo Range, Butano Ridge, and the Pacific Ocean.

All attendees must RSVP via Eventbrite. More detailed information regarding parking and meet-up locations will be sent out to all attendees prior to the event.

Please note that dogs are not allowed on community hikes and that all minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for the entirety of the hike.

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST)

POST protects open space on the San Francisco Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all. Since 1977, we've worked hard to permanently protect lands for hiking and recreation trails, wildlife habitats, redwood trees and local farms—all of which make our region extraordinary.

We want people to get out and enjoy these amazing local landscapes, so we host all kinds of community events—and we'd love for you to join us! See our full list of hikes, film screenings, lectures and more.

We're an accredited land trust and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means we're funded by the generous support of private individuals and foundations.

POST-protected properties are all around: Windy Hill, Mindego Hill and several others off of Skyline Boulevard; Tunitas Creek Beach in Half Moon Bay; Bair Island in Redwood City; Whaler's Cove by Pigeon Point in Pescadero; parts of Coyote Valley in San Jose; and many more.
