View from Russian Ridge Preserve to Mindego Hill by Karl Gohl
Description

Dedicated as part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail, the nearly two-mile long, multi-use trail parallels Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35), and connects with trails leading to Sanborn-Skyline County Park, Castle Rock and Big Basin State Parks, Upper Stevens Creek County Park, as well as Long Ridge, Skyline Ridge, and Monte Bello preserves. The Trail passes underneath spreading branches of weathered oaks before dropping into a cool, wooded Douglas fir forest. This trail ends across from the Hickory Oaks trailhead at Long Ridge Open Space Preserve.
