Belmont Slough Walk – Bay Trail

by

We like walking this portion of the SF Bay Trail because it is generally more interesting, less windy, better landscaped, and meanders nicely. A good place to start is at Port Royal Park and then go southwest along Belmont Slough towards Oracle Bridge. There you can cross Oracle Bridge to get to Redwood Shores. Belmont […]
