About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Join us for this beautiful hike! A POST volunteer will share a few words about POST's decades of conservation success before the hiking group explores a moderately strenuous but mostly shaded 5.4 mile hike with ~900 feet of elevation gain.

In one of the county's best preserved, second-growth coastal redwood forests, we'll also pass extensive areas of Douglas fir and oak woodland, as well as a few remaining old-growth redwoods. The proximity to the San Andreas fault results in a unique geology and landscape, while there are many remnants of a rich cultural history of the region. The park is also home to a wide variety of mammals, birds and reptiles, some of which might be spotted along the trails.

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.

Organized by

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.
