Butano State Park to Long Ridge OSP   Three weeks prior to the 2001 Western States 100 Mile Run, a group of six DURT runners set out on a point-to-point adventure.  Our team for the day was comprised of Sophia, Lisa, Steve, Eric, Susan, and Doug.   Beginning our run with Jon Easterbrook and the Palo Alto Run Club monthly trail run, we started from the entrance gate of Butano State Park in Pescadero, CA. Our objective was to start with the PARC'ers (for the sake of being sociable) and then break off at the high point of Butano and continue west through Portola State Park and then up into Long Ridge, finishing 1.4 miles north of Saratoga Gap on Skyline Blvd.   And that's what we did!   Course Profile Course Map Statistics: Approximately 25 miles; 5,660 feet of climbing, and 3,310 feet descent.   Course Description: From Butano Entrance start up Jackson Flats Trail Continue up Canyon Trail to Trail Camp Near Butano Fire Road Take Butano Fire Road west to the far north border of Big Basin State Park Upon reaching China Grade, go north on the Basin Trail Easement Continue North to the Butano Trail and begin descent down Butano Trail Veer east on Portola Trail and go to Portola State Park Headquarters (water) Take Slate Creek Trail to Slate Creek Trail Camp Continue on Slate Creek Trail past Page Mill Site and then climb up to Ward Road Take Ward Road up to Long Ridge Open Space Preserve Upon Reaching the Ridge Trail, go South along ridge to Highway 35, Skyline Blvd.
