SPECIAL: Crystal Springs 8-mile docent-led hike (San Mateo)
Hwy 92 & Hwy 35-Skyline Blvd, San Mateo, CA, USThis is a special 8-mile out & back Crystal Springs hike!
We are taking a private tour of currently unopened land called Fifield-Cahill. These lands are closed to the public but we have received a special docent-led group opportunity to hike these lands.
We will be joined by Stan's Bay Area Hiking & Anything Fun group, https://www.meetup.com/AnythingFun
Route: Starting at cemetery gate and hiking to Pilarcitos Overlook and return. It's a great hike for experiencing the forests and the views. It is the only way to experience what's on the ridge when you look across Crystal Springs when driving along 280.
==========
Description from SFPUC:
Local nature lovers can enjoy the rare opportunity to hike through pristine stands of old growth Douglas Fir, evergreen and fragrant coastal scrub while enjoying ridge-top vistas of our watershed lands, reservoirs, the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay.
The managed segment of the Fifield-Cahill Ridge Trail from Highway 92 to Sweeney Ridge is 10 miles long and connects with the 3.7 miles of the Sweeney Ridge Trail open to the public. The trail is a gravel service road with grades range from 0% to 21%. The steepest grade stretches 1.3 miles from Skyline Quarry (elevation 400') to Cemetery Gate (elevation 1050') on Cahill Ridge, with a vertical elevation change of 650'.
