Introduction:
What? : A relatively
small park covering the costal hill just south of Pacifica Pier.

at Pacifica (San Mateo County), Mori Point Road intersecting with Route 1, just
south of Sharp Park Road.

Due note 1: rare species, the
San Francisco garter snake and the red-legged frog, find protection in the Mori
Point’s native coastal prairie vegetation.
Due note 2: Park you’re at
Mori Point Road or Bradford Way or at Pacifica Beach Park and walk along the oceanfront trail to Mori Point hill.
My thoughts: A
short and easy hike along the oceanfront, climbing the hill and enjoy the view
from the top of the hill.
The visit:
History:
For nearly
twenty years, Pacificans people wrestled over protection of this private land
along the coastline from urban development. Finally, in September 2000,
Congress enacted legislation to purchase and add Mori-Point to the Golden Gate
National Recreation Area.
Visitors to
Mori Point can enjoy a network of relatively short trails, that provide sweeping
ocean panoramas, wildlife and birds viewing and abundant spring wildflower
displays.
