Windy Hill
Windy Hill's exposed ridgeline offers classic Bay Area panoramas: rolling golden grass, spring wildflowers, and wide vistas of the Peninsula, SF Bay and Pacific. Best at sunrise or late-afternoon golden hour for warm light and rim-lit grasses; fog and clear days both create dramatic moods. Trailhead parking is limited at Spring Ridge; arrive early on weekends. Trails are moderately steep—bring windproof layers and a sturdy pack. No entrance fee; check Midpeninsula Open Space updates for closures
