Public Transit

The links at transit.511.org all work, but at times the site has problems, you may get an error page displayed, usually when I retry the URL two or three times it works OK, but not always, I suspect the URL is just too busy for their server, try again later... also, some browser "add-ons" will disable features of the website, you may have to (a) disable add-ons, or (b) use a different browser.

|
San Francisco Pride
|
The first SF Pride Parade was held in 1970, it's always the last weekend in June, the event has become one of the most famous and best attended pride parades in the world, with over one million people taking part... I've seen this event nearly every year since the late 1980s, it's a joyous time for those attending.

I have spent many years volunteering with SCMTA, maintaining old trails and creating new trails, mostly near the Big Basin area... and their "links" web page is the most useful collection of links I've ever seen.

Bay Trail
|
map |
This will ultimately encircle both San Francisco and San Pablo bays with an unbroken 500+ mile network of biking and hiking trails that will connect the shorelines of all nine Bay Area counties and cross the major toll bridges in the region... so far they've completed nearly 300 miles of trail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bay Area Ridge Trail
|
map |
This will ultimately be a 550+ mile trail around the SF Bay along the ridge tops, open to hikers, horse riders, mountain bikers, and outdoor users of all types... so far they've completed over 300 miles of trail.

Outdoors via Public Transit
|
|
|
|
|
|
Backcountry via public transit - transit web pages have dropped most of their outdoors via public transit links, they only have a few pages left and these just scratch the surface, you can get to an amazing variety of places with sufficient study of the public transit routes... for instance I often go by public transit from Rancho San Antonio (in Los Gatos, there is a bus every 30 minutes during the day) all the way to Big Basin State Park on the ocean, that is a four-day trip... then I take public transit from the ocean at Big Basin to Santa Cruz (there are two buses each day), then another to San Jose, and from there I can go anywhere to get home, this can be done any day of the week... similar multi-day trips can be taken all over the Bay Area... I have also taken Greyhound many times to the Eastern Sierra to climb Mount Whitney from various places and come out in one or two weeks at an entirely different trailhead... if you have questions I may be able to help you find public transit to some local outdoor parks, just ask.

There is an amazing collection of information at Trails.com, including topo maps of the area you are going to, but there are some things you should know about this website... (a) you have a limit on the data they show you unless you subscribe to their service, but unlimited access to everything if you subscribe, (b) they offer a 14-day free trial, but while I've used this site for years, I've never tried their "free trial" offer (and never subscribed to their service), so I can't discuss this feature, (c) you can still get some of their data if you don't subscribe, but if you use their website for a longer period of time, they keep offering their "free trial", (d) this website has problems with some browsers, you may have to try another browser to access their site.
