"Quick hike up Mount Sutro and then over to Twin Peaks at sunset. Gorgeous views in all directions, especially of San Francisco, Marin County and the Golden Gate.
There’s not much to see on Mount Sutro, but it’s a nice walk up through the eucalyptus." — sareine • May 24, 2020

"Pleasant Sunday afternoon amble to compleat the San Francisco 7 Peak Challenge. Ate at Dotties (always good) then took the J train Muni Metro from Powell to Church & 30th. My walk went up the link steps to Bernal Heights then through quiet residential neighbourhoods to Visitacion Knob via Holly Park, Saint Mary’s Park, a footbridge over the I280 John F Foran freeway, Watertower View and Philosophers Way. Bernal and Watertower were fine viewpoints. After visiting Visitacion Knob pleasant descent paths went easily down towards San Bruno Ave where a number 9 bus got me back to Powell in about 40 minutes." — davidb • Nov 24, 2019

"Started walk from the western entrance near the Dutch windmill. Continued through the park, with stop to admire the bison. Continued to the very eastern edge of the park and had lunch and coffee on Haight. Returned to the park and found that the botanical garden was free, second Tuesday of the month. Continued my trek west with small detour to the top of Strawberry Hill. Short easy climb completed in about 10 minutes. Rewarded with amazing view of Golden Gate Bridge in the distance. Headed down and west to the truck. " — Mtstalker • Nov 12, 2019

"Started from Precita Park and walked up Folsom street to Bernal Heights Park entrance. Followed road and the trail to the summit. There were a few parking spots at the Bernal park entrance but it looks like they go fast. Great views of San Francisco." — Zardoz • Jun 9, 2018
