Description
This pathway, starting at the entrance of the Presidio, provides you with almost two miles of what feels like the most active spaces in the entire city of San Francisco. The path starts out as a dirt road (closed to traffic) from the yacht club through Chrissy Field and then turns into a paved road just west of the Warming Hut. From there you'll be able to finish the path all the way over to the base of the Golden Gate Bridge (at a location called Hoppers Hands). On a clear day the views of the bay, the Presidio, and the Golden Gate Bridge will be so great that your friends will be completely jealous of your Instagram feeds.
