hike description
elevation and distance
it's a smidge longer than the description said b/c may started the workout from where we parked our car. i'm sad that my graph never comes out right b/c the gps on my phone is a little bit stupid.
route
-> left on n peak access road
-> turn around at the peak
-> follow the access rd back to montara mountain trail
-> brooks falls trail on the way back
our experience
we were able to find street parking around the corner, so we didn't park in the paid lot. it costs $6 and no dogs or pets are allowed.
right when we walked into the park, we were greeted by this warning.

| tl;dr act big and pick up small children |
we started around 12:30 pm and finished at 4 pm. we had amazing views of the water on the way up but around 2 pm, the fog started setting in. it's crazy how fast it happens.
found some kind of rodent in a hole. there were a ton of random holes in the ground but i noticed some movement in this one

like i said, the fog set in and we couldn't see much after 2 pm. though, it could possibly be because we were higher up? either way, not sure if there was a better view at the top of the north peak than this but the outlook was beautiful.
this one was located where brooks falls trail meets montara mountain trail. you can see the fog moving down from the left side.

| may taking in the view on one of the benches on the way back down |

| the bench is on the far left. left trail is montara mountain trail & right trail is brooks falls trail |
we saw a ton of people wearing racing bibs and those streamer things all along the way. apparently the montara mountain trail run was going on. it was hard enough walking up, i can't imagine having to run it!
manzanita trees all along the trail! they are so cool.
almost at the bottom and you can still see the fog rolling down the mountain
You girls are so lightly dressed for February!
