Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve

"The forest at Mount Sutro is just as lush and majestic as it looks from afar, with easy-to-navigate trails along its ridges that may be more fun to explore through the fog than on a sunny day." Read more

Can't actually see Sutro Tower from the top. I recommend entering near the intersection of Stanyan & 17th St . You get more green time that way.

Some of the only legal mountain biking in SF. Very well marked trails , all fun. Find maps and volunteer opportunities at the Sutro Stewards and SFUR websites.

If you're wondering ... There are some benches to sit right at the top (summit ) to enjoy a moment.

Follow the trail as far west as you can for last, highest sunset view in the City .

Solid place for a quiet hike . Not too crowded like other places around SF. Watch out - tends to be a bit muddy.

Very navigable trails through this expansive reserve make for a wonderful escape from the City .

Make sure to enter the park from the gap near 17th St

Hiking in the fog among the eucalyptus trees is euphoric.

Best way to get a quick hike in the middle of the city .

Tucked away hiking trails around UCSF and Forest Knolls - easy hike to the summit - great for dogs

Be prepared to get really muddy.

Very hot today. But still great

Neighborhood is the best kept secret in SF! Views galore!

Trails are muddy!

Great in-city mountain biking !

Supposedly an epic forest walk, which I still have to do but am planning on soon.

Okay mister Sutro I guess I'm not that mad that you planted all these invasive trees
