The Bay Area Ridge Trail, spanning 413 miles, is nearing completion of a 550-mile vision established nearly 40 years ago through collaborative efforts. The partnership, founded in 1987, includes organizations like the Greenbelt Alliance and the National Park Service. By 2025, another 25 miles of trail are expected to be added, significantly increasing its length. Tools such as the All Trails app are being utilized to improve hiker experiences by providing accurate trail information and addressing closures. The Ridge Trail continues to inspire both hikers and the local community, showcasing the region's beauty and commitment to outdoor recreation.
In 2025, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council aims to add 25 more miles to the trail, significantly increasing its annual growth and enhancing public access to nature.
The partnership with All Trails aims to enhance the hiker experience by providing accurate trail information and real-time updates, thereby minimizing inconveniences and improving safety.
Janet McBride, the executive director, highlights that even those unlikely to hike the entire 550-mile circuit feel inspired by the vision of the trail's completion.
The Ridge Trail, which started small in 1989 due to a coalition of advocates, has now expanded to 413 miles, showcasing the region's stunning landscapes.
