Lone Mountain and Laurel Heights

This is a new route I have been wanting to try out. We have passed through Lone Mountain and Laurel Heights on the popular roam through the old cemetery land, but this time I thought we should do a relaxed Friday loop through the area.
We will pass by St Ignatius, one of the prettiest churches in the city, climb Lone Mountain, which had its top lopped off a long time ago to build what is now USF, and then cross over to Laurel Heights with its elegant streets.
There are some stairs en route, but the climbs are not arduous, and we will be on pavement pretty much the whole way.

Bringing water, snacks, and layers for all the microclimates is the way to go. These roams are offered by donation. They are one way I am able to pay my rent in San Francisco.

Punctuality is always appreciated. Please send a message on the app if you are running a little late. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I won't be checking my phone.
I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers, but I do pay attention to those who regularly drop off or no-show, and there are consequences for recidivists, as it is discourteous for others who would like to attend.
