A hike that leaves you in shape to hit sportsmen’s show. This week stands out because I’m looking for a first-class hike that I can chop short if necessary because of weather or time — and still have the energy to set out for the International Sportsmen’s Exposition in San Mateo. The best answers for this… By Tom Stienstra. [SFGate: Tom Stienstra]
Stienstra describes an “expandable hike” along Skyline Road near the junction with Hiway 9 above Saratoga. I have hiked sections of this trail, but not recently, and I think I rode parts of it on a mountain bike some years ago. He says that author Wallace Stegner was known to enjoy hiking portions of this route.
