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. We put health 1st and history 2nd. We keep our group together. We go on many different urban walks, in the best areas, that vary greatly in distance, stair climbing, and amount of history facts. We walk at a leisurely pace to enjoy the scenery. Sometimes at a walk's end we have an optional dinner together at a fine restaurant, usually Indian, reasonably priced.

Our walks are usually 5 to 6 miles and might be called urban hiking. Our routes are well planned with good restroom stops properly spaced. We avoid those stinky porta-potties. Though we mainly walk in S. F. we also walk in nearby areas such as Oakland, Sausalito, Berkeley, Piedmont and Alameda.

We always take roll and if we have more than 20 people we give all a name tag. Attendance is usually unlimited and has ranged from 1 to 85. We had 119 free walks for almost 3 years. In January 2010, we started usually charging adults $2 and kids remain free. Kids & cameras are very welcome. Dogs & 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!"

NEWS, May 20th:  All 5 of our scheduled walks are now open for RSVPs. Our next walk is our "Walk to & up Telegraph Hill," Saturday, May 26th. It is our most history laden walk. One may leave early without penalty. See all 5 of our scheduled walks below.

Our "group photo" at the top left was taken at our most recent walk, Saturday, May 19th, in SF "A Walk Around the Mosaic Stairway."

Click on "Photos" near the top of the screen to see over 5,000 photos of our walks thanks to scores of our members. Click on "Pages" to see more on this group and there click links to a short "History of San Francisco Made Simple," and also to the movies made on location in SF.
