Los Trancos Open Space Preserve, Protected area in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties, California.
The Los Trancos Open Space Preserve spans 274 acres at 2,000 feet elevation, featuring rolling grasslands, oak woodlands, and mixed evergreen forests.
The land belonged to a 13,300-acre ranch before state senator Louis Oneal purchased it in the early 1900s for raising horses.
Monthly guided walks through the preserve allow visitors to learn about geological formations and earthquake impacts from knowledgeable naturalists.
The preserve contains 5 miles of hiking trails, with 2.1 miles accessible to equestrians, while bicycles are not permitted on any paths.
One mile of the San Andreas Fault runs through the preserve, with markers indicating ground shifts from past earthquakes.
