Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve

Máyyan 'Ooyákma – Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve is an 1,859-acre (741 ha) publicly owned open space preserve in southern Santa Clara County. It opened to the public in August 2023 with 5 miles of trails. There are 3.9 miles of trail designated as a portion of Bay Area Ridge Trail, a regional trai

l system that is planned to run 550 miles along the ridge lines that encircle San Francisco Bay. Máyyan ‘Ooyákma (pronounced My-yahn Oiy-yahkmah) directly translates to Coyote Ridge in the Ohlone Chochenyo language. Chochenyo is the language stewarded by the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area, whose members trace their ancestry to the Indigenous peoples of this region. The Open Space Authority is partnering with the Muwekma Ohlone to raise awareness about the importance of the protection of irreplaceable landscapes.
