Spur Trail

The northern segment of the trail has a north–south orientation. The trail begins on Richmond Drive on the northwest corner of Taylor Middle School. It goes uphill slightly as it heads southeast into a grove of oak and eucalyptus trees. From then on, the linear trail goes into an open field and runs just to the west of Taylor Middle School's H-wing classrooms. Heading into another patch of eucalyptus trees, the trail crosses two streets as it skirts the southwest corner of Taylor Middle School. South of the middle school, the twisty trail ascends and descends through a grassy field until it ends on Hillcrest Boulevard.^[1]

Located about half a mile (800 m) south of the northern segment, the southern part of the Spur trail has an east–west orientation. It begins on South Ashton Drive close to where Millbrae Creek dives underground. The trail heads east through a grove filled with different types of trees, ranging from oak and Monterey Pine to the west to mostly eucalyptus to the east. The trail roughly parallels Millbrae Creek for a tiny distance where the creek re-emerges from the ground but then disappears underground under the path. As the trail twists and turns through the Spur property parkland, it parallels Millbrae Avenue and skirts the northern friges of Mills High School's running track/football and baseball fields. The trail turns by several tennis courts and a YMCA skatepark before terminating on the corner of Millbrae Avenue and Magnolia Drive about two blocks away from the Millbrae Station.^[1]
