Purisima Creek Redwoods open Space Preserve is located on the western slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains overlooking Half Moon Bay.  The centerpiece of this 3,307 acre preserves is Purisima Creek Canyon, with its towering redwoods, rushing creek, and understory of ferns, berries, mushrooms, and wildflowers. Coastal scrub and hardwood forest of tanoak, madrone, and Douglas fir border the cool, moist canyon. Magnificent views of the coast and Half Moon Bay are visible from the (Harkins Trail) northern part of the preserve. Twenty two miles of developed trails, historical logging roads provide opportunities for easy walks or long strenuous hikes or rides.
