From the beginning of the trail, you can look uphill to see where the trail leads you. As you can tell, there isn't a lot of shade.

From the beginning of the trail, you can look uphill to see where the trail leads you. As you can tell, there isn't a lot of shade.
As you climb, you can look back and get views of the farm lands and Pillar Point Naval Station along the Pacific Ocean.
While the trail does flatten out at the top, there is quite a climb to get there. Like most trails in the park, you get a good view of the ocean if you turn around.
The trail climbs steeply up the hill. Take a minute to enjoy whatever shade you find along the way.
Views of Half Moon Bay and the Pacific Ocean spread out below you.
The top of the trail flattens out and several side trails for mountain bikers connect with the Clipper Ridge Trail. The Flat Top Trail circles to the right and then descends back toward the parking lot.
The San Carlos Trail is fairly open. Cortaderia jubata, a weedy pampas grass, grows along the trail.
