Help Randy explore this newest addition to the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The newly opened Skyline Watershed Ridge Trail is a 6-mile multi-use crushed rock trail in San Mateo County that offers rare public access to protected drinking water lands.The trail winds through open grasslands, fragrant Douglas fir forests, and shaded redwood groves, delivering sweeping, ridgetop vistas of the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco Bay, and Crystal Springs Reservoir, with occasional distant glances toward downtown San Francisco and Mount Diablo. Our hike will be about 5 miles, with about 600 feet total elevation gain. Dogs are not allowed on hikes in the Skyline Watershed. There are no restrooms at the hike starting point, but we will pass a restroom at the 2.5 mile turnaround point on the hike. There are no picnic tables along the trail, so just bring a snack to have at the hike midpoint. There is no parking fee.
