Meet at 8:00 am
Join us on this fun and challenging "Planet of the Apes" Mixed Terrain route on the peninsula which starts at San Bruno BART around 9:00am. For those who will BART, we will meet at Mac Arthur BART at 8:00am to catch the 8:09 train. For those starting at San Bruno BART, we will meet here at the Tanforan Memorial around 9:00am. We will ascend Sneath Lane Trail through Portola Highlands Park to Sweeney Ridge. After rolling through a neighborhood we ascend Old San Pedro Mountain before descending the same trail/road into Pacifica via Montara and then onto the scenic trails along the ocean in Half Moon Bay.

We will stop for a quick lunch in Half Moon Bay before climbing Purisima Creek Trail through Purisima Creek Canyon, with its towering redwoods, rushing creek, and understory of ferns, berries, and wildflowers. It’s a dirt version of Tunitas Creek and is among the best trails in the Bay Area. This is an 8 mile climb with 1900’ of elevation. We will descend the glorious Kings Mountain Rd. to Cañada Rd. and back to BART.
