San Francisco - Coastal Trail (or SF from Ocean Beach to East Beach)

We will meet at 11 & P at 6:50 and will depart by 7:00. Carpool will be arranged here unless you already have your own. If you do, please let us know so we will not be waiting for you.
Please wear comfortable shoes and bring layers as the city is always known to have a different (cooler) weather than Sac. Also, this is an experimental hike where it may be over 7 miles (but no more than 10). Come and enjoy the day and do not ask what time we will be back.

From there, we will make our way up the hill to the historic Cliff House and follow the rugged beauty of the Coastal Trail, with the vast Pacific stretching endlessly to our left. The path will lead us through the scenic elegance of the Sea Cliff neighborhood, where the city’s mix of nature and architecture shines. Then we will work our way to Crissy Field. Depending on timing, lunch can take place anywhere from Baker Beach to Crissy Field.
The magnificent Golden Gate Bridge, taking in iconic views that never fail to inspire, and stroll along the waterfront of Crissy Field. Here, vistas of Alcatraz, the bridge, Fort Point, and the restored wetlands provide a vibrant finale to our walk. We will end our journey with smiles at East Beach, where it is an easy trip back into town for our return to take the
