This hike climbs Sweeney Ridge from Pacifica then loops back via Mori Point. You start off climbing over Milagra Ridge, past Skyline College and up the Notch Trail. Next you follow Sweeney Ridge, with continuous views of the Bay and Peninsula. Finally you descend Mori Ridge and climb over Mori Point, with dramatic coastal bluffs. An easy walk along the beach closes the loop near the Pacifica Pier. The trails are well maintained. Keep an eye out for poison oak, and for traffic when crossing Highway 1.
