Stats: Roundtrip: 8 milesGain: 4083‘Summit: 9984’Temperature: 80-90FTrail & Map View We did the The Rocky Canyon route up Pyramid Peak. This is a class 2 scramble to the top. This trail climbs very steeply up past some waterpipes and then angles right (away from the creek) onto the hillside, where the trail becomes easier to follow. Starting from a base elevation of 5,900′, the route climbs up nearly 4,100′ to the summit of Pyramid Peak. It is also the shortest route to the summit from a roadway We started at 9am and summited 2h 40min later. I had hard time scrambling to the too in the big boulders. I carried…

Stats: Roundtrip: 6.3 milesGain: 1929′Summit:2733′Temperature: 80-90FTrail & Map View We are trying hard to find hikes around SF so we won’t have to drive that much or camp. However, without that much luck. This hike is good to train but not as great compare to Sierras or Washington (what I’m used to). I was seeing today pictures from my friends in Wa from hikes with great views and better than anywhere around here. You should check it out: Mount Fremont and Baring Mountain. This hike is covered most of the way up. If you take the South part of the loop (lower on the map)! Which is nice in a…

Stats Roundtrip: 6.6 milesGain: 2791′Summit:9239′Temperature: 70-90FTrail & Map View https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/california/ralston-peak This hike was brutal because of the heat! I do have real issues with that! While my boyfriend was carrying rocks in his backpack and almost sprinting up, I was dragging behind with a HR of 165. I was also carrying some weight (14-15lb): the dog and water. But not nearly as much as I should usually! I also didn’t sleep that well because we camped in the car and it wasn’t very comfortable. In addition our dog snores so loud that all night I thought there are bears around and freaked out! Overall the hike is nice and easy!…

It’s not covered at all. So expect a to walk under the sun all the way up. It’s good hike for conditioning, and even running! It has large even trail for that! At the summit you get some scrambling on the rock! But it’s really easy! Any beginner in tennis shoes can do it!

Stats: Roundtrip: 9.9 milesGain: 3,266′Summit:9712′Temperature: 60-70F Trail & Map View Here. It’s been literally 1 year since I properly hiked. Living in SF is not convenient for reaching good peaks in a day. I know that when you talk to people you hear different things. They all think that there is so much to do around SF. Yes and no. If you like nature, yes, you can get in 30 mins in the nature. But if you care about a big mountain with at least 3000ft elevation gain, then you have to drive 3-4h. Which is not a day thing, unless you want to fall asleep driving back! However, if you…
