On the windswept coast south of the City, Milagra Ridge boasts views to the edge of the Pacific horizon. This scrub-covered ridgeline is critical habitat, home to Red-tailed Hawks and the endangered mission blue butterfly. It is the site of intensive restoration by Park Stewardship staff and volunteers.
Wildlife at Milagra benefit greatly from restoration work and volunteer efforts organized by the Conservancy’s Park Stewardship program, which holds drop-in programs and special workdays.
First used by native Ohlone, this land was later claimed by Spanish settlers and Mexican rancheros. The U.S. Army installed a gun battery here in the 1940s, and during the Cold War built a Nike missile station on Milagra and nearby Sweeney Ridge. Remnants of Battery Construction #244 and a Nike launch site still dot the ridge.
In 1987, Milagra was brought into the Golden Gate National Parks.
