Got Trail? Hike of the Day @ San Bruno Mtn
Need to stretch those legs? Looking for a good, solid hike with breathtaking views as your reward? One of our favorite hikes is at our north county gem of a park, San Bruno Mountain. Go for a solo hike, breathe in some fresh air, identify the landmarks below you and please keep your distance from fellow hikers and runners. Nature has the power to heal. But, if you are sick, please stay home and rest. Let’s look out for each other, including other park visitors and park rangers.
What is a Pump Track?
Once upon a time, I had no knowledge of pump tracks. Now, I hear about them in connection to two parks, Quarry Park in El Granada and Flood Park in Menlo Park, on a regular basis. Planning efforts have been underway at both parks and as part of those community engagement processes, residents spoke up in favor of a pump track (or two) in San Mateo County Parks.
