SCA Trail

Share

Low clouds cloak the Marin Headlands

A hike along the SCA Trail will provide a breathless vista of the Golden Gate Bridge and the surrounding Bay. When the sun is shining and the fog is lifted, hiking along this trail will make memories that will last a lifetime. Experience what the Golden Gate Bridge looks like from this north side! 

The well-maintained trail is cut into the side of the mountain and faces westward.
