On November 8th, MCL continues its series of Walks into (Conservation) History at a treasured site everyone has seen but not many have visited — Horse Hill and the Alto Bowl Open Space Preserve in Mill Valley. 

Protected from development in the 1980s by a grassroots community effort, Horse Hill is home to fourteen horses who brighten the commute for thousands of Hwy. 101 travelers each day.  Join us for a leisurely walk with 300’ elevation gain and discover the history of this spectacular land. Wear layers and sturdy hiking shoes and bring your water, snacks and camera.

Directions: Meet in the Scott Valley Tennis Club overflow lot at 50 Underhill Rd. From Hwy 101: take E Blithedale exit west towards Mill Valley. Turn right at Camino Alto, right at Azalea, right at Vasco, which turns into Underhill. Continue on Underhill for 0.4 miles, turn right at stop sign at Scott Valley Tennis Club entrance. Please park in lower lot only. Carpooling strongly encouraged.
