The signs were also missing when we got to a final turnoff choice of left or right to the actual Slacker Ridge view point. The signs were not very clear when we got to the uphill turn to get to the top of Slacker Ridge. This 0.9 mile stretch to the Slacker Trail connection was a pleasant surprise at every turn.Īfter a last steep push up to connect to the Slacker Trail, it is a brief 0.3 miles to Slacker Ridge. Each rise to the next plateau offers a different angle on the Golden Gate Bridge, the tunnel that cuts north into Marin, and the view of the bay with Alcatraz, Angel Island and the San Francisco skyline. This section of SCA trail is a series of switchbacks to make the steep climb less harsh, and offers amazing views in all directions. In a brief 0.2 miles, you will be at a road crossing that connects you to the SCA trail on the other side. There is a bit of charming tree cover as you first head out of and back into the trailhead parking lot. Much of this trail is on open hills with little tree cover. We started from this trailhead because the road to the upper trailhead was closed for a bike race.
