Sneath Trail, near the City of San Bruno, will close for approximately 20 days between late July and October 2012 for the San Andreas Wetlands creation project. The wetlands creation work must be completed during dry conditions in the summer and fall. Sneath Trail begins at the western endpoint of Sneath Lane and is used to access Sweeney Ridge.  Please subscribe (see right) for updates about exact dates of the closure.

To reach Sweeney Ridge from San Bruno when Sneath Trail is closed, take College Drive to Skyline College for the alternate trail leading up to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area ridge trails (see GGNRA trail map below).

Sweeney Ridge can also be accessed from northbound Highway 1 at the Shelldance Orchid Gardens (2000 Highway 1, Pacifica). Just a bit further to drive, the Shelldance location has ample parking and a fantastic view of the ocean!
