"Unbelievable views!"
The stretch of Skyline Boulevard adjacent to La Honda is one of the best in the Bay Area! While it is a bit challenging to get to, it accesses a great open space preserve that is filled with hiking trails of all levels. Best of all, Windy Hill Summit, only a half-mile hike from one side of the parking lot and .2 miles from the other, offers views of both the Pacific Ocean and the entire bay.
Unfortunately, the best way to get there is up the seemingly never-ending switchbacks of Woodside Road. It is tough as a driver and even tougher as a passenger, if you have any history of carsickness. Not surprisingly, cell phone reception is in and out. But I wouldn't use a cell phone for any purposes other than taking pictures.
