San Pedro Valley viewpoint

Embark on the San Pedro Valley Park Loop for a challenging hike that spans 10.5 miles (16.8 km) and climbs a substantial 2824 feet (861 metres). This difficult route will take you through a varied landscape of lush eucalyptus groves, open grasslands, and chaparral-studded hillsides. You can expect to spend around 5 hours and 22 minutes on the trail, enjoying panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Farallon Islands from viewpoints like the Valley View Trail.

When planning your visit, remember that San Pedro Valley County Park is well-equipped with a visitor center, picnic areas, and restrooms. Parking is generally available, making it easy to access for a day trip. If you hope to see the impressive Brooks Falls, a multi-tiered waterfall dropping 175 feet, be sure to check local conditions and plan your hike after winter rains for the best chance to see it flowing.

This route combines several trails to provide a substantial workout and a rewarding outdoor experience. Beyond the physical challenge, you will discover the diverse natural environment of the San Pedro Creek Valley. The park's facilities and accessible parking make it a convenient choice for those seeking a rigorous and scenic adventure in the region.
