Weather was not ideal, but we wanted to go on a friday before San Mateo closes absolutely everything on weekends. Drive on skyline was foggy:

We had a look at the map, and went Whittemore Gulch Trail down to Higgins Canyon Road:

it was fogged in, gives nice views, even if it was cold and wet

half moon bay

Quick lunch break, and 1h30 hike back up:

We didn't cross too many people on the trail, except on the top
