Pastries, Cliffs & Ocean Views: SF Urban Hike

Join us for a relaxed San Francisco urban hike combining neighborhood streets, coastal trails, historic sites, and big Pacific Ocean views. We'll kick things off at Butter Love Bakeshop in the Outer Richmond, where we'll grab some baked goods and coffee before setting off (we'll wait until 9:45am for any late arrivals). From there, we'll walk toward Sutro Heights and make our way through the Land's End area, after which we'll finish by walking toward Sunset Dunes for the final stretch along San Francisco's oceanfront. This is a casual-paced hike. We'll take our time, enjoy the scenery, stop for photos, and give everyone a chance to chat and take in the views. (Dogs are totally welcome!) Looking forward to the event! Please let me know if you have any questions. 628-236-9369

Peculiar Paths of Potrero Hill

Let's do a an urban hike to explore some of the Peculiar Paths in Potrero Hill, including some delightful dirt roads. I am still working on the exact route. We will start in the Mission and head into to Potrero Hill. We will look for stairs, gardens, dirt roads, stairs, and alleys. There will be hills and stairs. We will not end at start point. The after gathering will depend on the weather. If it is nice we will have it outside picnic style and we will stop at a store for provisions. Bring a cupy or prepare to purchase one. Hope to see you there! Please note: Phone help is not available for latecomers. If you are late it is very hard to catch up with us. We walk at a medium pace. Escorts or sweeps are not provided, so slower walkers should be completely prepared to finish the hike on their own if they become separated from the group, and they may want to consider bringing a friend to walk with them. I reserve the right to make small changes to the route as needed. Liability Disclaimer: The organizers of this meet-up are unpaid volunteers and not expert hiking guides.
