To summit Maisie’s Peak, start at the Prospect Road parking lot and take the Cora Older Trail to the Seven Springs Loop Trail, to the Hayfield Trail, and finally to the Coyote Ridge Trail.  Maisie's Peak is named after Maisie Garrod, and is the highest peak in the preserve. From the top of the peak you can see sweeping views of the Santa Clara Valley.  

Maisie and her brother, R.V. Garrod purchased this property in 1910 and used the surrounding land for pasture, orchards, and hay. The remaining hayfields and fruit trees tell the story of this land’s agricultural past.
