It’s that time of year — SF’s mama coyotes are taking over trails. The Presidio Land Trust prohibited dogs on two popular hikes ahead of pupping season.
The Presidio Land Trust announced that two of its most popular trails, the Bay Ridge Trail and the Park Trail, will be closed to dogs all spring and summer starting this week.Coyote pupping season starts in late March, which means the normally elusive animals may become more aggressive to any perceived threats near their dens — which includes dogs. The trails will remain open to human hikers, but the park cautions people to avoid interacting with the wild animals.
Golden Gate Park has had its share of close-call coyote encounters. In summer 2021, a male coyote named Carl began to threaten parkgoers by stalking small children, demonstrating zero fear of deterrents and boldly strolling through crowds of people.After a long absence in SF parks, coyotes mysteriously returned to the Presidio in 2002 after a pair crossed the Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands.
But in 2020, Sparks, a young male displaced from Glen Park, was spotted bowing in and out of territories in North Beach and Golden Gate Heights — but seemed to cautiously settle near the alpha pair in the Presidio. During breeding season of 2021, Puff chased Sparks out of the area several times, only for Sparks to slink back in after a few days.
