Milagra Overlook Hiking Trail
Hiking area
πŸ‘ Echoes of two past wars are still present on Milagra ridge, and can be easily identified on this short hike above Pacifica. Thankfully the military emplacements don't detract from the beauty of the park, nor do they obscure the excellent panoramic coastal views which make this short hike a worthwhil...

Baquiano Trail Head
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ One of the most interesting trails in Pacifica. Big climb followed by a rolling ridge to the view of the SF Bay. At the fork near the Portola site, go right and follow the road about 3/4 of a mile to the Sweeney Meadow. Crazy satisfying and worth the trip. Great to run.

Sweeney Ridge Trailhead
Hiking area
πŸ‘ Parking: I parked at the bottom of the trail while the fog was still in around 10. You can park at the Orchard and should go all the way up the paved road to find ample parking. The trail: It is a decent incline but has larger trees that you can take breaks at. I would recommend bringing allot of w...
