💚Green Exercise 🌊Ocean Hike 🥾Lands End San Francisco

**Hello Ocean Lovers,** Let's meet up go for a Green Exercise Wellness Hike at Lands End Trail, meet new friends and get a good workout together. Enjoy Ocean air and Healing Sea for our physical Health and Mental well-being Lands End Trail is a favorite among both locals and visitors alike! This trail explores the historic Sutro Baths and offers great views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Pacific Ocean. A must see for any visitor to San Francisco. **Lands End San Francisco** The Coastal Trail at Lands End in San Francisco is a gorgeous spot for hiking, but most visitors to the city don't know it's there. Early History San Francisco was originally inhabited by the Ohlone Indians. An archeological site at Lands End was dated at 150 A.D., but there is evidence that Indians had been living in San Francisco for around 3,000 years. They had seasonal camps where the Sutro Baths ruins are now, eating seafood and hunting seals; archeologists found their garbage dumps, more politely known as middens. Hiking the Lands End Trail The Lands End Coastal Trail is walkway that starts just above the Cliff House, then winds in and out of the woods and along the edge of the bluffs, and ends in a ritzy residential area (Sea Cliff) near China Beach. Lands End Trail The way down is quite steep, but there is a stairway to follow. It's a small, rocky beach, good for relaxing and watching the breaking waves, but too rough (and cold) for swimming. Mile Rock Beach Another branch of the same path will take you down to the mini-beach, Mile Rock Beach, at the foot of Lands End Point. Mile Rock Beach-Tiny, but cool! It secluded the beach at the entrance to San Francisco Bay, a scene of many shipwrecks, but a pretty detour off the gorgeous. ⏰**Meet time: 1pm** 🥾**Hike time** ⏰**1:30m** Great Highway & John F Kennedy Drive, San Francisco, CA 94121 GPS: https://goo.gl/maps/YYgxvPfbS9h6bfX9A across from the Beach Chalet Brewery at beach side parking lot We'll be at the beach side parking lot Parking: Free Level: Level: Moderate Challenging!

SF Mission Murals - An Urban Walk (4 miles)

Hi Sweeps. Before the predicted El Nino rains hit, I thought it might be fun to try something different. So .... three of our fellow Sweeps hikers did a dry run of an urban walk through San Francisco's Mission District to look at the many beautiful and thought-provoking street murals. It turned out to be a very fun outing, and I think we can manage a small group to do it as a Sweeps event. We started at the 16th Street Bart Station, walked the street murals (with a pastry and coffee stop at an excellent Russian bakery), and ended with lunch at a Mexican restaurant near the 24th Street Bart Station. So, if you feel up to immersion into San Francisco Mission street culture, please jump on your nearest Bart train and join us at 10am in the 16th Street Mission Bart plaza. When you arrive at the 16th Street Mission Station, leave by the SW exit, and take the escalator up to the plaza. See the photos below for a picture of the start location. The weatherman is currently predicting a nice Monday for us. But if the weather ends up looking threatening, check the MeetUp website before heading out Monday morning to confirm that the event is still on. Here is a sample of some of the murals: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/vLBMwRJZvF4YZcQz7](https://photos.app.goo.gl/vLBMwRJZvF4YZcQz7) LIABILITY WAIVER **By joining The Sweeps Hiking Group for any event, you hereby release it's organizers, hosts and participants from any and all liability, claims, demands or causes of action that you now have, or may have in the future, for illness, injuries, damages, death and/or economic loss of any kind or nature, arising in whole or in part out of the activities, advice or information contained herein.
