About

Mount Olympus is a summit in San Francisco County, California, rising to about 568 feet. It sits on city-managed land within the Mt Olympus (upper Terrace) unit, about 4.4 miles from Daly City. The most comfortable stretch is late summer into fall, when September and October typically reach highs around 70°F with about one to four wet days a month. Those are typical averages from a nearby weather station at 150 feet, so temperatures up on the summit run a bit cooler. Several outings start close by. Beaver Street Wall, a climbing area, is half a mile away. The Sutro Tower Trail and the Historic Trail are both about 0.6 miles off, and the North Ridge Trail is about 0.8 miles away.
