This 220-acre preserve just west of the city of Novato is primarily
undisturbed habitat, consisting of oak-studded grasslands on the southern
slope, and the heavily forested north slope that drops off steeply
to Novato Boulevard. The Doe Hill Fire Road, which runs along the
southern edge of the property, is the main route through this preserve.
This road is an important link in the Bay Area Ridge Trail, a project
that will ultimately create a trail to circumscribe the entire Bay
Area. The Little Mountain segment connects the trail systems of Olompali
State Park and Mount Burdell to the Indian Tree Open Space preserve
on the south.
