A Cross-Sunset Trail

A couple of years ago, taking a leaf out of the Crosstown Trail - which I completed once, but haven't felt that I wanted to repeat - I thought of roaming a Cross-Sunset Trail.

It remains the only roam that we had to postpone because it was too hot; we did it a couple of weeks later, in October 2024, and I have wanted to repeat it since then.

Starting at the gates of the Kezar Stadium, on the north side of Frederick at Arguello, we will head over Sunset Heights and Grandview Park, around the reservoir and down towards the Zoo, going from 1st (Arguello) to 48th, and from H (Hugo) to Y (Yorba).

This is a one-way roam. It is a little longer than most roams, and does include some climbing.

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 - direct messages are best, rather than a comment on the event. I can usually respond to messages before we get underway, but then I put my phone away other than to take pictures.

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 since generally up to half the people who sign up don't show up, my tolerance for repeated flakiness is limited. It is especially unfair to people on the wait list who would like to attend.
