Saratoga Gap Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

5.5

Trail Treks, scheduled on the last Thursday of the month, provide exercise-focused hikes and opportunities to discover Midpen's beautiful preserves.
Hit the trails with Docent Naturalists Nancy Weintraub, Nick Yatsko, and Bobbie Riedel for a moderately-paced loop trek with 800-foot climb along Saratoga Gap and Achistaca trails to the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail. You'll appreciate shady mixed evergreen forest, steep canyons, a visit to Turtle Rock, and grassy ridges with sweeping vistas westward across thousands of acres of forested land. Bring a snack for a scenic stop along the way.

Where to Meet

Meet at Caltran's Saratoga Gap Vista Point Parking Area on the southeast corner of the Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Highway 9 intersection.
