Its 208 acres are characterized by steep, wooded hillsides punctuated by grassy open spaces, providing a multitude of scenic vistas. For landscape photographers, the preserve’s highest points offer panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay, the University of California campus, and even as far as the Golden Gate Bridge on clear days. The varied vegetation, including oak, eucalyptus, and grasslands, provide a rich backdrop and change dramatically with the seasons. Wildlife enthusiasts can capture images of the various birds, reptiles, and mammals inhabiting the area. Whether you’re chasing the golden light of sunset illuminating the bay or capturing the serene beauty of the morning mist, the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve offers an array of inspiring settings.
