About Windy Hill Preserve:

Windy Hill is a 1,335-acre Midpen preserve located in the Town of Portola Valley. Acquired by Midpen in 1980 with the help of POST its distinctive grassy hilltop is iconic to the Peninsula and an ideal spot for kite flying. Hiking trails take visitors through grasslands and well as oak, fir and redwood forests. This preserve is popular among dog-walkers, equestrians and cyclists. The wide Spring Ridge Trail is suggested for hikes while social distancing by POST’s Nik Rau. Check trail conditions here before planning your visit.

This event is part of POST’s community event series, which is open to the general public as well as POST donors. We hope you’ll join us! We also curate a separate series of private events for our donors. Learn how you can support POST here: openspacetrust.org/support-post
