Bay Area Hiking, Walking, Wellness Club

Hello Ocean Lovers, Let's go meet new friends for Green Exercise a wellness hike by the beach, enjoy fresh Ocean air, Healing Sea for our physical health and mental well-being😇

This segment of the CA Coastal Trail runs parallel to the Pacific Coast along what used to be the Ocean Shore Railroad. The railroad itself was in operation for just 15 years before it was driven out of business in the early 1920s by the automobile.

It's truly a destination trail. It offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, access to several beaches and excellent nature viewing. Bird watching is quite good and a popular activity here. Red-tailed hawks, blue herons and red-winged blackbirds are spotted frequently, and large hawks can often be seen perched on benches and the trail's split-rail fence. Half Moon Bay State Beach is also home of the world-famous Mavericks, a surfing spot Pillar Point that's visible from the trail.

Hello Natural Lovers, let's meet new friends and go on a Green Exercise Wellness Hike Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve enjoy beautiful wildflower displays fresh mountain air for our physical health and mental well-being😇

Mount Umunhum is a peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, located in Santa Clara County, California. It is the fourth-highest peak in the Santa Cruz Mountains, after Loma Prieta, Crystal Peak, and Mount Chual. Most of the mountain is located within the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.

Mount Umunhum is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the South Bay located within the 18,000 acre Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve in Santa Clara County, is one of the highest peaks in the Santa Cruz mountain range at 3,486 feet. From its spectacular summit, visitors can experience 360-degree views from the Pacific to the Sierra Nevada!

The gorgeous Mt. Umunhum Trail passes through dense mixed chaparral scrub dominated by shrub species including chamise, big berry manzanita, birch-leafed mountain mahogany, and poison oak (keep an eye out). It passes through Knobcone Pine Woodland and eventually enters the Coastal Woodlands habitat dominated by coast live oak, foothill pine, California bay, interspersed with Pacific madrone. The majority of the trail – approximately the upper 3.0 miles – is enjoyed under the cool canopy of these trees. Eventually, the trail emerges near the top onto steep terrain dominated by cliffs and rocky outcrops including serpentine boulders. Due to the thin soil layer developed on the serpentine bedrock, a low moisture-holding capacity, and a unique chemical composition, the serpentine areas support numerous endemic plant species, including rare flowering plants that continue to reveal themselves each spring.
