A Road Less Traveled

December 25, 2024

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Skyline Ridge Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

Enjoy a potentially quiet winter day on the trails with Docent Naturalists Stella Yang and Stephen Buckhout on a short out-and-back hike on the Old Page Mill Trail. This is a leisurely- to moderately-paced hike through mixed evergreen forest and chaparral studded with sandstone rock outcrops. You may see some small waterfalls if there has been winter rain. Anticipate an elevation gain of 500 feet on the return leg.

Where to Meet

For this activity at Skyline Ridge Preserve, meet at the Russian Ridge Parking Area on the northwest corner of the Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Page Mill/Alpine Road intersection (across Skyline Blvd. on the right). Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 40 minutes travel time.
