Roaming Russian Hill

Russian Hill is a staple of Roaming Zen, with its incredible views, hidden parks, and alleys to meander along. I like to tweak the route often, to keep it interesting, but with the essential elements always present. For this visit, we will start from Washington Square, to give us a new angle on the climbs.

This is a shorter route than some, but we more than make up for distance with the elevation involved. Don't come if you are not a fan of stairs!

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. Meetup has now added a "share location" feature, so you will be able to catch up.

I know Meetup is notorious for no-shows and late changes of rsvp. I am not as strict as other organisers (we do talk to each other!), but I do track those who regularly drop off or no-show, and have disinvited several people with dismal attendance records, as it is discourteous for others who would like to attend.
