Bay Area Hiking, Walking, Wellness Club

Hello Ocean Lovers, Let's meet up go for a green exercise wellness hike at Lands End Trail For our physical health and mental well-being😇 Meeting new friends and get a good workout together.

Lands End Trail is a favorite among both locals and visitors alike! This trail explores the historic Sutro Baths and offers great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. A must see for any visitor to San Francisco.

Lands End San Francisco
The Coastal Trail at Lands End in San Francisco is a gorgeous spot for hiking, but most visitors to the city don't know it's there.

Early History
San Francisco was originally inhabited by the Ohlone Indians. An archeological site at Lands End was dated at 150 A.D., but there is evidence that Indians had been living in San Francisco for around 3,000 years. They had seasonal camps where the Sutro Baths ruins are now, eating seafood and hunting seals; archeologists found their garbage dumps, more politely known as middens.

Hiking the Lands End Trail
The Lands End Coastal Trail is walkway that starts just above the Cliff House, then winds in and out of the woods and along the edge of the bluffs, and ends in a ritzy residential area (Sea Cliff) near China Beach.

Lands End Trail.
The way down is quite steep, but there is a stairway to follow. It's a small, rocky beach, good for relaxing and watching the breaking waves, but too rough (and cold) for swimming.

Mile Rock Beach
Another branch of the same path will take you down to the mini-beach, Mile Rock Beach, at the foot of Lands End Point.

Mile Rock Beach-Tiny, but cool!
It secluded the beach at the entrance to San Francisco Bay, a scene of many shipwrecks, but a pretty detour off the gorgeous.

Hello Ocean Lovers, Let's meet new friends go for a Green Exercise Wellness Hike by the Montara State Beach enjoy Ocean air and Healing Sea for our physical Health and Mental well-being😇

Old Colma Road Loop: This loop covers a variety of historical paths. As you leave the lot and head through the gate north, you pass through a long straight road corridor. This was cut by the Ocean Shore Railroad (1908-1920) for its rail line...

On the way you will first pass a building that was originally built as part of a WW2 military station used to observe potential enemies off the coast. Bear left at this point and slowly climb Old Colma. You will come across a very steep portion created by fill from the nearby tunnel's construction before stepping back down to the original road...
