SWEENEY RIDGEA GOLDEN GATE NATIONAL PARKS TRAIL MAP

SWEENEY RIDGESweeney Ridge offered Spanish explorers their first view of San Francisco Bay—and gives modern-day visitors glimpses of hawks, deer, and a wide array of both native and introduced spring wildflowers. A National Historic Landmark site, with a stone plaque commemorating the 1769 expedition of Gaspar de Portolà, can be reached via the Baquiano Trail from Pacifica or Sneath Lane Trail from San Bruno. Known for scenic vistas and a layered history, Sweeney Ridge is a memorable place. You can help preserve this remarkable site through one of our many volunteer programs.
