Telegraph Hill is one of the most beautiful, panoramic vantage points in San Francisco, offering breathtaking views of the Bay. Come and uncover Telegraph Hill’s colorful history on a mile-plus hike featuring incredible vistas and lush foliage. Explore the hidden staircases that lead to Coit Tower atop the Hill, and discover gorgeous gardens and a beautifully landscaped neighborhood of cottages dating back to the 1850s.
As we explore one of the oldest parts of the City, we’ll climb the Filbert or Greenwich steps to view charming wooden cottages tucked up these impossibly steep streets, and delight in lush greenery all around, a sweeping view of the Bay, and – if we’re lucky – wild parrots!
Delve into the past and learn how this modest peak earned its name. Hear about the people who have lived on Telegraph Hill, from the dock workers in the 1850s anxious to see which ships were arriving in San Francisco’s harbor, to those who flocked to Layman’s Castle on the Hill, to the artists and intellectuals who were inspired by the beautiful landscape, as well as famous personalities, including Grace Marchant and Lillie Hitchcock Coit, who left their indelible mark on the area.
