This is a moderate hike of about four miles round trip. Parts of the trail include steps and steep slopes.

WHERE TO MEET
We'll assemble at the Lands End Visitor Center.
(If taking Muni to Lands End, it is accessible via the 38 or 38R which starts at the new Transit Center and runs all the way out Geary to 48th Avenue. However, be sure to get on a 38 going all the way to 48th Avenue; some of them only go as far as the V.A. Hospital at 33rd Avenue and turn around there. Riders need to look at the destination on the front of the bus or ask the driver if he/she is going all the way to 48th.)
NOTES
Bring water, snacks, and lunch. Dress in layers and wear good hiking shoes. Bring poles if you normally use them. There are restrooms near our meeting area. Questions? Contact Ken Lavin at [email protected] or 415-543-6771 x321.
