PRESS RELEASE. From San Mateo County Parks on January 16th, 2025.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — San Mateo County Parks, in collaboration with multiple agencies,
will repair sections of North Peak Access Road on Montara Mountain, Tues., Jan. 21 through
Thurs., Jan. 23. The project is solely focused on improving the road surface and does not
include removal of vegetation along the road or elsewhere on the mountain.
The North Peak of Montara Mountain is a critical resource site relied upon by emergency
responders and telecommunications providers, California State Parks, San Mateo County, and
the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). Recently, CAL FIRE
inspected the road and identified unsafe conditions that require immediate attention. According
to current weather forecast, the next week presents the ideal time for repairs to occur.
Collaborating agencies agree there is an urgency in completing repairs before rain returns to
ensure first responders are adequately equipped to address emergencies and provide public
safety.
Montara Mountain includes parkland and trails managed by California State Parks, Golden Gate
National Recreation Area, and San Mateo County Parks. To ensure the safety of equipment
operators, hikers and cyclists, the following trails and access points will be closed Tuesday Jan. 21st
through Thursday Jan. 23rd 2025:
- Alta Vista Trail at North Peak Access Road in Rancho Corral de Tierra
- All trails in McNee Ranch State Park
- Montara Mountain Trail at junction 14 in San Pedro Valley County Park
San Mateo County Parks will provide a project briefing to the Midcoast Community Council at its
Jan. 22nd, 2025 meeting.
