Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve
About
Skyline Ridge Open Space Preserve is a park in California managed by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. The nearest town is La Honda, about 4.6 miles away. The preserve sits close to a cluster of short trails and bouldering spots, which makes it a practical base for a day of hiking or climbing in the area. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 67°F and October highs around 71°F, with few wet days. Midsummer runs warmer, near 81°F, and winter brings frequent rain. Three trails start right next to the preserve: the Lambert Creek Trail is about 0.2 miles away, and the Sunny Jim and Fir Knoll trails are within half a mile. The Aquarian Valley and Stoner Cave climbing areas are each about a mile off.
