News from UCSF:
Mount Sutro Trails have reopened
During the pandemic, UCSF limited access to some of the trails on Mount Sutro. We are pleased to announce that trail access is now fully restored for walkers, hikers, and mountain bikers.
Please continue to follow public health requirements including, wearing a mask and maintaining 6 feet of social distance. While visiting Mount Sutro please follow proper trail etiquette when yielding to others and keep all pets on leash while in the Reserve.
Note that UCSF is performing trail maintenance along Quarry Trail and South Ridge Trail, where gravel has been distributed as an intermediary step to help stabilize the trail. The gravel will soon be compacted in to, and absorbed by, the dirt to decrease tripping hazards and mud. Weather permitting, we aim to have this work completed by next week. Please exercise caution while on these trails.

Our volunteers have been showing up to small but productive trail and habitat work parties, and we'll be back at it tomorrow.

Want more space free from cars at Twin Peaks? The SFMTA is voting on this on Tuesday! The proposal is to make the car closure of Twin Peaks Boulevard from Burnett to Christmas Tree Point permanent. This along with the 'figure 3' closure means lots of space which was open to cars just a few years ago is now available to bike, walk, and relax on. Yes, it's less than the temporary covid closure, but it's a big step forward from just a few years ago. Find out more at
