Windy Hill Open Space Preserve is located along the San Francisco Peninsula, in Palo Alto California. Consisting of several trails through forests and grasslands, it is a beautiful location to enjoy nature only a few minutes from the Sillicon Valley. The views from the preserve overlook the San Francisco Bay, and on a clear day one can see from San Francisco to the north, to Morgan Hill to the south - and at the summit of the preserve you are treated to a beautiful view west toward the Pacific Ocean. The abundance of wildlife and gorgeous views in all directions makes this a must visit preserve for those who visit the area.
