About this event

  • 2 hours 30 minutes

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust for an excursion where you’ll explore the Mayfair Ranch – Longwall Canyon trails of Rancho Cañada del Oro! You will be guided by POST Ambassadors who will share with you the history of the preserve, the region, and the importance of conservation in the area.

The hike is moderate to strenuous at about 4 miles round trip with about 700 feet of gradual elevation gain.

This wonderful preserve is a hub for wildlife, such as deer, bobcats, mountain lions, and more! In the Spring, you can expect a colorful array of wildflowers adorning the hillsides, and you may get a chance to see a beautiful little creek running through Llagas meadow.

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.
