Sweeney Ridge is a picturesque hiking area located between San Bruno and Pacifica in California. With its hilly terrain, diverse wildlife, and stunning views of the bay and the Pacific Ocean, it offers a scenic escape just a short drive from San Francisco.
Visitors can explore the ridge's trails, surrounded by coastal scrub and grassland, and encounter hawks, deer, and a variety of native and introduced spring wildflowers. The nearby sandy coastline of Thornton State Beach provides opportunities for picnicking, beach walking, surf fishing, and even flying remote-control gliders. From the summit, one can admire panoramic vistas that include the Farallon Islands, Mount Tamalpais, Point Reyes, Mount Diablo, the Montara Mountains, and San Pedro Point, all guided by a prominent granite monument.
