Directions to Skyline trailhead

Our first hiking trip of 2016 is Tuesday, and this is a reminder that we are meeting at Skyline Blvd. trailhead around 8:30. I will be wearings an Oakland A's "striped socks" backpack, in case you are looking for me. I may be a little late because Jennie Bertone and are leaving my car at McDonald staging area for our stopping point.

To get to the Skyline Gate Staging Area, take 13 South to Park Blvd. Go left at the exit ramp and then left again onto Mountain Blvd. Go right at Snake Road, and when it splits, stay to the right for Shepherd Canyon Road. Google maps will give you different directions which you are free to follow, but I usually take Shepherd Canyon Road all the way up to Skyline Boulevard. It's VERY curvy. When you get to the top, go right, and follow for a mile or two and you will come to the Skyline Gate Staging Area. It will be on the left.
