Windy Hill is named for its distinctive, breezy grass-covered hilltop, which can be seen from many areas of the peninsula. The 1,335-acre preserve features open grassland ridges and forests of redwood, fir, and oak.

Directions:
From highway 280: take 84 west to Skyline Blvd (highway 35); turn left and go 2.3 miles south to the parking lot on the left. (The first Windy Hill lot (Spring Ridge Trail trailhead) has no amenities so go on and around the bend and you will see picnic tables and a bathroom.) You can park on either side of Skyline, but be careful crossing the street if you are on the west side. Please follow any parking instructions given by Trail Center staff!
If you drive up Page Mill Road, turn right onto Skyline and go 4.9 miles north to the lot on the right.
From highway 92: go 15.5 miles south on Skyline Blvd; the parking lot is on the left.
