Lands End is a wild and windy trail with stunning views at every turn at the northwestern corner of San Francisco. Along the way are hillsides of cypress and wildflowers, views of old shipwrecks, rocky cliffs above the ocean, access to the epic ruins of Sutro Baths in the Sutro Historic District, pocket beaches, spectacular views of the shore, headlands, and Golden Gate, and a new Lookout Visitor Center.
It is best to hike there on a sunny day. Avoid visiting it on a rainy day or after rain, as the trail gets slippery.
- The Lookout at the visitor center offers views of the Pacific Ocean, the Golden Gate, and the Marin Headlands; visitors can stop here first.
- Walk north along the edge of the city-and the continent-on the Coastal Trail.
- Scan San Francisco from the Legion of Honor (a great museum) overlooks and return via the El Camino Del Mar Trail.
- Check out the memorial to the USS San Francisco-a WWII cruiser that sustained 45 hits and 25 fires during the Battle of Guadalcanal in 1942-and the newly improved adjacent overlook.
- The West Fort Miley batteries offer a grassy picnic area among three turn-of-the-century gun emplacements.
- Be sure to wear sturdy and comfortable shoes and dress in layers.
