Pac Striders Sept. 9, 8:30am - Skyline Gate

Oh dear, where did the week go? If you're still looking for a run this weekend, we'll be at Skyline Gate tomorrow at 8:30am. I don't think we've ran Sequoia Bayview for a while, so we'll head out along West Ridge to start. Going to the end of Bayview and back is about 7.5 miles, while various add-ons such as the Big Trees loop can increase the run up to 9 miles.

DIRECTIONS: Skyline Gate can be reached from the Park Ave. exit off Highway 13 in Oakland. Heading north on 13, turn left at the stop sign at the end of the ramp onto Mountain Blvd. Turn right at the third light onto Snake Rd. Heading south on 13, take a left at the stoplight at the end of the ramp onto Park Ave., a left at the light onto Mountain Blvd., and a right onto Snake Rd. Proceed on Snake Rd. and go straight onto Shepherd Canyon Rd. where Snake takes a sharp left. Proceed up Shepherd Canyon (watch for the sharp hairpin right) until you reach a five way intersection at which you have a stop sign. Turn right onto Skyline Blvd. and look for the Skyline Gate parking lot 0.5 miles on your left.
