South San Francisco Sign Hill Trailhead

This trail has a paved road that goes straight up then curves toward the Christmas tree at the top of Sign Hill. This moderate hike is about 1 mile to the peak, though some people will find the steepness difficult. Along the way, there are garbage cans (keep the hill clear of litter) and trail paths for other views of SSF. There's a small 7-car parking lot before the trail begins that usually has spots available.

If you hike around April, you might see caterpillars everywhere so be careful where you step. They transform into butterflies around May/June.

Wildlife and insects you might see depending on time of day and season: rabbits, owl, coyote, yellowtail butterflies, painted lady butterflies, checkerspot butterflies, and more. You might also see a variety of flowers, depending on the season. You'll probably see most flowers, insects and wildlife during spring.

Get ready for a steep hike haha! Yeah, it’s a really great spot, and you get a chance to see the South San Fransisco sign up really close. It’s actually not a sign (I used to think it was when I drove by it), but paint instead. Oh, and the view of San Bruno and the surrounding area is breathtaking. It’s the highest I’ve gone up in recent memory. Sitting on that bench feels triumphant after doing the full loop hike.

nice trail for beginners,not so steep and just around a mile or two back and forth…great view of SF Airport and lots more…

There are a few trails up the top of hill. On a clear day you can see the ocean on the west. You can a almost 360 view of the Bay Area, SF, SFO , Bay bridge, San Mateo bridge, the Bay, Oakland...

Nice small parking lot at trailhead. It was deserted probably due to COVID-19 and the fact that the people in the neighborhood just walk to the path. Great panoramic views of South San Francisco. Steep incline up but pretty easy trail. I took the ridge path but turned back after a while since I had to get on the road back to Reno. Great 7 minute off tbe 101 detour to stretch my legs before the drive.

Sign Hill is definitely a challenge for those who plan to run this. The hill is quite steep. But once you get to the top, you'll be awarded with a beautiful view of south city and san bruno

Definitely worth the walk to the top for the great view of South San Francisco and the airport.

Bought my Mustang
