Sweeney Ridge GGNRA Night Hike

P1130468
On Wednesday night I drove to San Bruno to meet my friend Marie for a night hike at Sweeney Ridge—part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA). We started from the Sneath Lane trailhead and walked along the paved Sneath Lane Trail to the top at Sweeney Ridge trail. It was foggy higher up so we couldn’t see anything except mist, but lower down under the “fog line” I was able to get a shot of the city lights below us. The only wildlife we encountered was a banana slug that seemed a little out of place slithering along the pavement. We did see a dismembered fawn’s leg along the trail—probably the remnants of a coyote or mountain lion kill.

Trip Stats:
  • Trailhead: Sneath Lane (end of the road).
  • Mileage: ~3.75 round trip
  • Elevation +/-: 760 ft.
  • High Point: 1214 ft.
  • Low Point: 600 ft.
