Thanks to you, we're starting 2025 with the resources needed to drive forward our mission to complete the Ridge Trail.

Here's what your support makes possible in the months ahead:

South Bay Connection (Spring 2025): 14 miles of new trail will connect Casa Loma and Calero County Park, in collaboration with local partners.

Southern Skyline Ridge Trail (Summer/Fall 2025): 6 new miles opening in the majestic SFPUC watershed.

Future Expansions: Plans are underway to add new trail miles in Napa, Alameda, Santa Clara, and San Mateo counties by 2026.

We’re closer than ever to realizing our vision of a fully connected 550-mile Ridge Trail, thanks to you. Your dedication and commitment inspires us every day and strengthens our community on and off the trail. Thank you.
