One of the best ways to see the city from above is to take a hike. There are numerous trails to choose from, with varying degrees of difficulty. Listed below are a few of the most popular ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking: For those who enjoy serious exercise, hiking is the perfect way to get some exercise while taking in the city’s sights. Trails are scattered throughout the city and offer exciting ways to fill your days. There are many different types of hikes, from gentle strolls to rigorous treks. Trails offer beautiful vistas, rocky shorelines, majestic redwoods, and plenty of greenery. The level of fitness required for hiking varies from easy to challenging, so you can choose the perfect one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking in the East Bay is a popular activity during spring. The rolling hills turn green in April and May, and waterfalls roar. Hiking near San Francisco waterfalls is particularly scenic in the spring. Hiking the Cataract Falls or Alamere Falls are two of the most popular. While the temperatures are still warm, there’s no shortage of wildlife to observe. The days will also be more pleasant, with plenty of sunny weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t mind hiking in the city, you can hike on the Presidio’s trails. The Battery Boutelle Trail runs parallel to the coast, ending near the ritzy Seacliff neighborhood. If you’d like to explore more of the city from above, you can head down to the Golden Gate. This hike will add 3.4 miles to your journey. It will provide a great view of the city and will definitely get you outside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for an outdoor activity, consider going to Sutro Beach. This old military bunker is situated right on the water, making it an ideal spot for watching the water show. You can bring a picnic lunch and enjoy the view. And, of course, don’t forget to try one of the many delicious restaurants that are found in the area. If you have time, you can also check out the Presidio Yacht Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hiking trail in the Golden Gate Park is another fun way to see the city. A short loop of the California Coastal Trail runs through the city from Mexico to Oregon. One of the most popular parts of the trail passes through San Francisco. It begins from the Land’s End parking lot near Sutro Bath house ruins and ends at the Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point. There’s also a section of the trail that runs through the Presidio, which starts at the 25th Avenue gate near Baker Beach. From there, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another popular area of the city is Angel Island. This was a customs checkpoint for immigrants into the United States, but now it’s a beautiful island-park situated in the middle of the bay. You can hike five miles of this island’s coastline. You can even hike Mount Livermore, which has 360-degree views of the city. Visiting Angel Island during the daytime or early morning is a great way to take in the views.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
