Whittemore Gulch and Harkins Ridge Loop Trail

A pleasant loop through the woods. This hike allows you to see the valleys and the views from the open ridgeline. The Whittemore Gulch Trail is only open to specific trails. The Midpeninsula region has an open space preserve. The preserve is located on the slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The open space has a lot of flora and fauna, including redwoods, which can grow to large creeks in the winter. The elevation can be found almost 1600 ft from the road. Make sure to bring water.
