Hike in One of SF’s Serene Hidden Forests (Spring Break Fun)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Here’s a great free weekend hike idea from SFGATE’s Nico Madrigal-Yankowski

In the heart of San Francisco is a place so serene that you can’t hear the honking of car horns or the ringing of cellphones or the chatter of daily life. The air smells of fresh dew, and branches whip, crack and snap from the wind. It’s almost strange this place exists dead in the center of a metropolis like San Francisco.

For extensive details about the hike including photos and to learn how this forest nearly disappeared in 2010, check out the article This hidden hike in the middle of the city is San Francisco’s saving grace from SFGATE

Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve is a place with towering eucalyptus trees blanketed by a dense fog where San Franciscans can experience immense nature without leaving the city. The mountain offers six trailheads that weave and wind from top to bottom and east to west with paths that enter and exit at completely different parts of the city.

Getting There:
Fairy Gates Trailhead, 211 Belgrave Ave., San Francisco. Open daily, sunrise to sunset.
