Description
This 2.1-mile trail ascends gradually to a tranquil, secluded meadow in the northern part of the preserve. This spot — which adjoins Hidden Villa Ranch, a non-profit environmental education facility — was once the location of a picturesque windmill from former ranch days when cattle freely roamed the hillsides. It's the perfect spot for a picnic amid fields of grass in the shadow of Monte Bello Ridge and Black Mountain.
