Featuring an open ridgetop with panoramic views of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Russian Ridge offers the best hiking of all the preserves atop Skyline Ridge. This is mainly because, even though the other parks have similar or even better views, Russian Ridge is the only one that isn’t affected by the sound of gunfire. The park also feels less developed and offers longer hikes than the other Skyline Ridge parks.
Park in the main lot off Skyline Boulevard and take the singletrack trail that climbs up to the nearby ridgetop. There’s a lot of traffic noise at first, but it gradually fades away as the trail climbs. The trail leads to Borel Hill, which is just a little lump in the ridge. The hill is low and gently sloping so it doesn’t offer any really exceptional views.
