I was hesitant to visit at first after seeing the 3.5 star Yelp rating, so I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by this trail. We parked at the main trailhead at Adeline near Hillside. Limited parking but this isn't a hike I'd drive out of the way for; it's a good neighborhood trail. At the entrance there was a sign warning of ticks, poison oak, and mountain lions - it's nature after all. Take a photo of the map at the entrance for first time visitors. We had a late start so we only did the west half of the loop to get to the overlook, which ended up being a view mostly of the canyon and small view of the bay in the distance where we saw a plane descending towards SFO. It was a pleasant walk and you can hear the creek. For the half we did, there were a few moderate switchbacks and stairs at the start of the trail, but they weren't that steep. The Sebastian entrance on the map was marked as steep. Watch where you step since parts of the trail were slightly rocky (not too much); the half we hiked seemed relatively easy with moderate incline in some parts to get your heart rate up. We walked on a paved service route for part of the hike, and saw one family with a young child on the service route so it seems family friendly (not stroller friendly though). Since it was evening, the trail didn't seem busy, and when we did pass others, they put on their masks if they weren't already masked. We did see one owner with dogs off leash, but I believe dogs should be leashed on the trail because of the mountain lions (we didn't see any).

There are a ton of rocks, and roots, and overgrown brush on these paths, and while I didn't end up having an issue, it seems kinda easy to twist your ankle or get lost. Even in the middle of the day in direct sunlight. My guess is this park is basically used as a communal backyard for those who live in the area. I'm probably good with never returning.

Even the parking lot next door was all full. I ended up parking on Hwy 35 on the side of the road. There are 2 vault toilets but only at mile 2 & 5! It's 1hr walk to 2 miles! I'm going to ask if they can put toilet in the parking lot! All we saw was fog this AM, by 2pm it was clearing up so we could see views. Views are good 1-3 miles in, don't need to go to mile 6. Miles 5 & 6 u see lots of Redwood Trees. If you live nearby it's a good trail, for me in Fremont with high gas and $8.50 bridge not really worth it.

My favorite price. :) *±3miles of trails with a 2.3-mile loop. *Best way to access Pedro Point is to park in the Devil's Slide North Parking Lot. However, if you want a slightly longer hike, then park at the Devil's Slide South Lot, and you'll gain an extra couple of miles on your journey. *Spectacular views *Trails are in fairly decent condition, especially when compared to nearby Mori Point. *Dog-friendly trails *Great place to take kids to get them acquainted with hiking as there's a big payoff with little effort. The Meh: *Check weather conditions, as if it's going to be foggy, then you ain't gonna see much in the way of views, but it will make for an interesting hike. =) The Ugly: *Parking at the Devil's Slide lots could be difficult, as they can be pretty popular, but the South Lot is bigger than the North Lot fwiw. However, as stated above, it will extend your hike by a few miles. TLDR: Fantastic views, fairly easy trails, and free. What more could you want??

Parking is at Devil's Slide which has about 6 spots. The starting trail (South Ridge Trail) is…read moremostly uphill for about a mile. It's not super steep but it's uphill the whole way. It comes to an area to look out at the beautiful Pacific. From there the trail descends sharply. This part I feel you'd really need hiking boots for it, as it was rocky and easy to slip. I even saw some people turn around at this point. It's not something for people looking for a casual stroll so from here you can turn around. If you brave this steep part, it brings you to a clearing that is breathtaking, looking out for miles. The water is so much bluer after the immediate coast and you can see downtown Pacifica's beaches, the elusive Shelter Cove, the bridge, and all the way to Marin. The hike is around 2.5 miles but if you want something longer you can take the Ace Trail which starts on the side of Ace Hardware which makes the hike a little under 4 miles. There terrain is totally different here as it's ensconced and trees and foliage. I like this trail other than the fact that it runs parallel to the freeway so you can always hear cars in the distance. This might be a better option for the weekend because there's more parking over here. On the way back, currently the Middle Ridge Trail is closed for habitat restoration. There is a sign telling you this but I later I connected to this trail from Arroyo Trail where there was no sign and took the second half of this trail. It was very overgrown and a little dangerous, so I'd recommend this hike as an out and back and not a loop. There isn't really any shade, thankfully Pacifica is always cool and foggy. This trail would be difficult on a hot day. This hike is beautiful but it's more strenuous than I thought it would be. If you want something easier and less steep hills, I'd recommend the Devil's Slide hike in the same parking lot because you get the same stellar ocean views with a very gradual grade.
