What we’re about
See legal disclaimer at bottom of text. EVERYONE MAY NOW JOIN THE GROUP EXCEPT THOSE FEW WHO WERE BANNED. Walking or hiking. Meet other local people who are interested in walking or hiking for fitness and learning about San Francisco's history, including its movie history.
This walking group is unique. It is primarily a health group with a dash of history talk for flavor. It is for people in average physical shape who need restroom stops and not for athletes or people with serious medical conditions.
We keep our group together. We go on many different urban walks, in the best areas, that vary greatly in amounts of climbing and history facts. We walk at a leisurely pace and enjoy the scenery.
Our walks are usually 5 to 7 miles and might be called urban hiking. Our routes are well planned with good restroom stops properly spaced. Though we mainly walk in SF we also walk in Oakland, Piedmont, Sausalito, Berkeley & Alameda.
We always take roll. Attendance has ranged from 1 to 112 on July 5th, 2015. Kids and cameras very welcome. Dogs and other pets are not welcome. Also, smoking is not allowed on the walks as this is a health group. Occasionally we visit science and nature places. 99 out of every 100 doctors say, "JOIN THIS GROUP!"
Our "group photo" was taken May 26th, 2018 at our "Berkeley Rose Garden & Cragmont Rock Park Walk."

THE TELEGRAPH HILL/NOB HILL WALK
Salesforce Park, 425 Mission St, San Francisco, CA, USFREE WALK! November is the start of our rainy season! We will gather at the far East end of the top of the Salesforce Terminal, next to the Beale Street Elevator, at 11:00 AM. The top has a beautiful park.
This walk is a little bit harder than my average, but the hard part is in the middle where we walk up and down. The last part is almost all walking down. At 11:10 AM we will start walking.
To find me: I am 6 feet tall, wear a big blue & black hat and have a clipboard. One should bring water, and a sack lunch.
In case you are late. We will be walking to the San Francisco Historical Society Museum on Commercial Street. After enjoying the museum, we will walk up to Coit Tower on top of Telegraph Hill where we will eat our sack lunches around Coit Tower.
We will officially end at Sansome & Market Street where there is a BART Station, but I will be walking back to the Salesforce Terminal and others going there may join me.
I advise taking public transportation & not driving to SF because both driving and parking there is usually bad.
