One of Midpen's largest and most diverse preserves, La Honda Creek offers immersion into a historic ranchland with grazing cattle, views of the San Mateo County Coast and Santa Cruz Mountains and pockets of redwood forest. Since first opening to the public in 2017, it has become a regional destination for birding.
This cache is located along the Grasshopper Loop Trail which is open to hiking year-round and welcomes on-leash dogs, except from August 1 through December 15, to protect the health and safety of visitors and livestock during calving season. The trail was expertly designed and built by Midpen staff to be protective of the natural environment, stand the test of time and provide an enjoyable visitor experience. Visit the preserve page for detailed information about preserve use, accessibility, and amenities.
