The Mt. Sutro Open Space Reserve is a 61 acre fragment of the more than 2000 acres of trees planted by Adolf Sutro in the late 19th century, and now cared for by the Sutro Stewards (https://www.sutrostewards.org/trail-map). We will be walking about 2 miles of unpaved trails through the forest and around the summit. There will be uphill climbing and the trails can be narrow and rocky in places. Mt. Sutro is a great place to focus on listening to locals and getting more intimate encounters with some of our regular birds. 

Note: If you are driving, you can access 155 Johnstone form Clarendon Ave. only, Medical Center Way from Parnassus will be closed. 

If you need directions or advice on how to get there, please email us at wlgrover@gmail.com, or pjgreene@sonic.net.
