Weiler Ranch Road, San Pedro Park


The Weiler Ranch Road is located in San Pedro Park, Pacifica. The park has two parking lots with accessible parking, one of which is next to the Plaskon Nature Trail, a short and accessible nature trail. The park has a visitor center, accessible restroom, and a picnic area.

You start off by hiking a paved road which will bring you to the Weiler Ranch Road. The twelve feet wide, dirt and gravel trail, follows along a narrow and scenic valley. There are benches situated along the way which offer you a chance to stop and admire the beauty of the valley and hillsides. Even though it was almost summer, there were still wildflowers dotting each side of the trail here and there. There is a slight slope as you hike along, barely noticeable till you return. The trail finally ends in a roundabout. A cool breeze greeted me on the way back, reminding me that the park is just a few miles from the Pacific Ocean.

I really enjoyed hiking the Weiler Ranch Road and I am looking forward to coming back next year in early spring when the wildflowers are in full bloom.
