Lands End - Golden Gate National Recreation Area

At the northwestern corner of San Francisco, there is a wild and windy trail with stunning views at every turn... Lands End's trails wind their way around rocky cliffs above the ocean, moving through shady stands of cypress and eucalyptus and emerging onto spectacular views of the shore, headlands, and Golden Gate. A trip down the trail is also a journey through the history of Lands End, offering glimpses of the past at every turn.
