DRIVING DIRECTIONS:

(Most Cars) GPS Degrees Minutes Seconds Format:

37°28'29.7"N 122°16'59.8"W

(Google Maps) GPS Degrees Decimal Format:

37.474928,-122.283270

Nearest street address:

Intersection of Edmonds Rd and Crestview Dr
Redwood City. Then drive 1/4 mile up Edmonds Rd.

WAZE APP:

The Google Waze app will route around "restricted access" roads, unlike the Google Maps app, using the same map data as Google Maps. Therefore, Waze is recommended over the Google Maps app for your phone.

If you have the Waze app installed on your phone, click this URL:

http://waze.to/?ll=37.474928,-122.283270&navigate=yes

Just click it. It will open Waze and start navigating to the North Gate.

As always, it is good practice to confirm the night before that any app you use takes you to where you expect by comparing the destination with what is posted above on your PC/Mac.

• Most street addresses provided are approximate, and may be up to a couple of miles from the hike location. Use GPS coordinates when driving, if possible.

Parking:

Plan to arrive 30 minutes early to find parking, and walk to the trail head.

Carpooling:

We will use this link for carpooling:

Please sign up here.

CARPOOLING MANNERS:

Please refrain from trying to negotiate your carpool in the comments, as it is equivalent to sending multiple "Reply All" emails to everyone.

Please start your carpool quest, by first adding yourself to the carpool link above.

Then, use the contact info provided by the driver or rider in the link above to contact them directly and privately.

Please be considerate of others and resist the urge to "Reply All".

Thank you for understanding.

HIGHLIGHTS

Wandering the trails in early spring, visitors will see many wildflowers, such as Indian warrior, hound's tongue, mule's ears, and milkmaids, in addition to three members of the lily family: fetid adder's tongue, giant trillium, and mission bells. Pulgas Ridge is home to about 90 native species of trees, shrubs, ferns, and flowers.
