Mile is a short, steep mountain biking climb in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, about half a mile from the San Pedro Mountain Trail. The route is out and back, covering roughly a mile of trail with a total elevation gain of about 536 feet, from a low point of 441 feet to a high of 1,003 feet. It is rated hard, so it suits riders looking for a challenge on a short, focused stretch of trail. Late summer into early fall is the driest and warmest stretch here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Pacifica show highs around 71 to 72°F in August and September, with only one or two wet days a month. Winter runs cooler and wetter, with highs in the upper 50s and about 10 to 11 wet days a month. The San Pedro Mountain Trail and the San Pedro Mountain Switchbacks both sit within a third of a mile, and the Arroyo Trail is about 0.8 miles away for a hike. Climbers can head to the Pacifica Headlands, about 2.3 miles off.
