Ridge Trail's Super Stroll 2021
Event Information
About this Event
Join Ridge Trail volunteers for the Fifth Annual Super Stroll on Super Bowl Sunday! Our approach this year is for socially distanced or DIY hiking. Join and start with us, but hike at your own pace or with your pod. All five routes are accessible by public transit with two different start locations. Go to ridgetrail.org/super-stroll-2021/ for downloadable map.
Route #1 The Touchdown - 8:30 am until sometime in the afternoon (~14 miles, point-to-point) START at the southern tip of Lake Merced at John Muir Blvd. & Lake Merced Blvd. This hike will traverse the entire SF Ridge Trail route going north from Lake Merced and up and over Twin Peaks to the GG Bridge. Because of its length this hike is strenuous. If you drive / park at start, you can take 28 MUNI bus or Uber/Lyft back. You may also bail at MUNI/BART or near your home. Those hikers who want to start their hike later in the morning can take BART to Daly City and walk about 20 minutes to the southern tip of Lake Merced. The first BART train on Sunday arrives at Daly City at 8:47 and then at 30 minute intervals thereafter. Lead hiker: Bob Siegel
Route #2 The Field Goal – 10am - 1pm (7 miles, loop) START at Stanyan Edge (@ Page Street) go South through Sutro Forest to Sutro Tower, through Marview etc. to Panorama, back north up Creeks to Peaks and over to Mt. Olympus, and back to Stanyan. Lead hiker: Karen Rhodes

Route #4 The QuarterBack Sneak – 9:30am -12:30pm (6 miles, loop) START at Stanyan along Phil Arnold trail to Arguello through Presidio to Mtn Lake Park taking the Crosstown Trail back to Stanyan. People who feel comfortable taking MUNI could peel off at the 1, 38, or 5 buses. Lead Hiker: Ben Pease
