Monte Bello Open Space Preserve

Italian for “Beautiful Mountain,” Monte Bello Open Space Preserve is a place of rolling grasslands, dense creekside forests and spectacular vistas. The preserve encompasses the upper Stevens Creek watershed from Monte Bello Ridge to Skyline Ridge. The 3,436-acre preserve is one of Midpen’s richest in wildlife and ecosystem diversity.

Monte Bello Preserve is surrounded by other open space preserves and parks, which makes trip options nearly limitless. Black Mountain offers visitors incredible views of Santa Clara Valley and over to Mt. Hamilton.
