Redwood trees are some of the tallest and oldest living organisms on Earth. Towering up to 350 feet, these majestic trees can live for over 2,000 years. Found primarily along the coast of Northern California, redwoods thrive in the cool, foggy climate. Their thick, reddish bark provides protection from fire and insects, making them incredibly resilient. Walking among these giants is a humbling experience, with their sheer size and age creating an awe-inspiring atmosphere.

Sitting here in the evening and watching the sunset is magnificent. The view stretches across the entire Monterey Bay.

Long Ridge Open Space Preserve is a 2,035-acre preserve that follows Long Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. There are a variety of trails that can be used for hiking, biking, or horse riding. This is a dirt trail area, so it is more suited for gravel bikes or a stout touring bike; a hardtail would be ideal. In addition, this is a preserve and not a park, so there are no facilities that you would normally expect in a park, such as bathrooms, drinking water fountains, picnic tables, snack bars, or stores.
