This preserve in western Novato protects a ridge that runs
between two developed valleys. Several trails originate in these neighborhoods
and connect to the Verissimo Hills Trail that runs along the ridge until it dead-ends at the top of the
easternmost hill. The Stafford Lake Trail (which is part of the Bay Area Ridge
Trail) runs along the west boundary and connects to the Little Mountain
Preserve in the north and the Indian Tree Preserve across Vineyard Road to the
south. The habitats here are predominantly grassland mixed with oak/bay
woodlands.
