Join co-leaders Ken Himes and Elan Alford for a hike in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area along Sweeney Ridge, the ridge from where Gaspar de Portola viewed San Francisco Bay on November 4, 1769. Plants of the coastal scrub community will be featured. It should be interesting to compare the coastal scrub habitat with the habitat on the preceding week’s hike at San Bruno Mountain.
There will be a gain/loss of 600 feet during our 6-mile hike along the ridge. Wear layers as windy and cool conditions could occur. Bring lunch and liquids. For more information call Ken at (650) 591-8560, or email Elan at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Directions: Take I-280 north to Skyline Blvd. (Hwy 35) and proceed north on Hwy 35 to Sneath Lane. Turn left onto Sneath Lane and proceed two miles to the Sneath Lane trailhead parking lot. We will then conduct a car shuttle for a one-way hike along the ridge, and return to the Sneath Lane trailhead.
