Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve

Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve is a 2,143-acre (867 ha) open space preserve in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.[1][2] The preserve features a nature center built with funding from the Peninsula Open Space Trust, two reservoirs[2], and 12 miles of trails, with some trails allowing access for equestrians and cyclists.[3]

A section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail passes through the preserve.[4]

History

Some of the land that is now the preserve was previously owned by James Rolph, who served as mayor of San Francisco and later as the Governor of California.[1][5]
