Hikes in San Francisco

San Francisco offers several miles of beautiful hiking trails along the coastline, along the beaches in the north and in the SF Presidio area. On clear days, jaw-dropping views of Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific may be seen.

Best Months to Visit: Any time of the year would be great. Some people prefer to avoid cold and foggy days.
Guide: Joseph Stubbs maintains an excellent website describing parks and beaches in San Francisco. Clickable Map.
Geology: San Francisco - nice description by Ted Konigsmark at GeologicTrips.
