This beautiful preserve is a 30-square-mile, almost endless sea of grasslands on the San Joaquin Valley floor. It is home to one of the largest stands of the endangered Bakersfield cactus and protects endangered wildlife, including the San Joaquin kit fox and blunt-nosed leopard lizard. The Coast and Transverse Ranges and the Sierra Nevada, western Mojave Desert, and San Joaquin Valley converge here, making it the largest nature preserve on the West Coast. It's an ecological and geographical wonderland, providing endless opportunities to enjoy exploring this spectacular area.
