Sweeney Ridge Trail via Sneath Lane

From Sneath Lane to the Nike Missile base is about 2 miles and paved road. Sad to see that the dog owners don’t take the responsibility to pickup after their dogs. After the Nike Missile is dirt road and more pleasant hike, took the Mori Ridge/Skyline trail, lots of steps, view of the SSF and Pacifica at the top. Fewer people than the paved road. Great trail overall.

Nice hike with some interesting views of both South San Francisco and then later on the coast. Giving a 4/5 because it was cloudy and so the views weren’t great. I’ll try coming back on a better day to see how it is then.

Pretty in a foggy day. Sneath without a view is pretty much a hill climb up the fire road. Would try again with a higher or lower cloud deck when you might get a view.

Good climb and good views. Glad to have my hiking poles for the way out. But they took out the Nike Missile Base buildings with the cool graffiti art and that was a huge draw for Sweeney ridge so that really sucks.

Great open trail with some steep uphills.

Trail was in great condition, and beautiful views of the ocean, bay, SF, and surrounding mountains throughout. Basically the entire hike, you’re going up/down hill with very little flat terrain, so be prepared for that. Overall, an enjoyable, moderate difficulty hike.

I've enjoy the hike up from Sneath Lane to the top of the Sweeney ridge trail and thought I'd go a little further than normal and ended up taking the Mori Trail The first half mile down has beautiful scenery of the towns below The rest is a lot of dirt trail that just kept descending. The problem was I had to turn around and walk back up it. But somehow I made it back. ^^

Pros: easy climbing grade, amazing views reveal themselves as you approach the top. Cons: SO MUCH DOG POOP. Bagged and unbagged, scattered on the trail sides and even in the middle of the trail. There’s a trash can at the trail head. Dog owners aren’t using it.

Come here on a weekly basis now! Very nice. There is a steep part, but it’s mostly easy and if you’re lucky, and it’s not foggy, you’ll see peninsula!

Well maintained. Sunny so bring a hat. Occasionally windy. The hills are hilly but short.

Great eBike ride, steep 1 mile trail section would a challenge without assistance

No shade so bring lots of water! The view is amazing. Incline on the way back gets a bit tiring.

Starting at the GATE on Sneath Ln, it is almost exactly 2 miles UP to the top. From that point onward, its easy to go down to HWY 1, arriving at the Orchid garden store. I usually continue along HWY 1 heading north and then take a trail that ends up at the top of Sharp Park. I do all this RUNNING, but if you want to simplify things, when you get to the Orchid garden, make your way to the cafe nearby, and from there just UBER back, (why kill yourself going all the way back up?) About half is dirt, but simple running shoes are good enough. There are some spots when coming down from the mountain that could be a little slippery, but otherwise, its easy. Bring water!

More of a harder moderate trail than a hard trail. Virtually no shade so bring a hat and lots of water! Gorgeous hike all around with gradual hills / nothing too strenuous. Decent amount of people at the beginning/end and near the beach but otherwise, there weren’t that many people on the trail/there was plenty of space to social distance. Pretty much everyone used masks and followed social distance etiquette.

great views but no shade at all.
