Huddart/Purisima Super-Loops (15-20+ miles, 2500-3500 feet elevation gain)
These runs link together two of the most beautiful parks on the San Francisco Peninsula. Because the two parks lie on either side of Skyline Blvd, it is very easy to connect a loop in each park into a giant figure-8 loop that encompasses both parks. As an added bonus, there is water available at Kings Mountain Fire Station on Skyline, so you can refill your water bottles along the way. The runs start from the parking area in Huddart Park.
The Dirt:
The run is constructed by combining the 8.7-mile or 10.4-mile loop listed on the Huddart Park page with either of the loop runs listed on the Purisima Creek Redwoods page. After the climb up to Skyline through Huddart Park, simply add one of the Purisima Creek Redwoods loops, then finish off the loop through Huddart. One word of note: when you reach Skyline Blvd, it may be unclear where you are exactly. It is helpful to use the Purisima Creek Redwoods map to locate your position on Skyline.
The Dirt:
- For directions to the parking lot and a trail map of Huddart Park, refer to the Huddart Park page.
- For a trail map of Purisima Creek Redwoods OSP, refer to the Purisima Creek Redwoods page.
- There is water available at the Kings Mountain Fire Station along Skyline Blvd. Refer to the run directions and the trail map.
- The runs can be confusing, so it is highly recommended to bring along the trail maps of the two parks!
