Proč to místní doporučují

This short shoreline trail in the Presidio lets you experience the city’s ocean bluffs. It’s a nice example of how human structures are integrated into the natural environment in San Francisco. You can explore remnants of the old military outpost from the early 1900s, which are built into the steep cliffs. Go just before sunset on a clear day and you’ll be rewarded with colorful, expansive views of the Pacific, the perfect ending to a day by the bay.

Batteries to Bluffs begins on a high note – quite literally. The two trailheads at Lincoln Boulevard offer an elevated view of the Pacific Ocean horizon, with the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands to the northwest, and the dramatic bluffs tumbling to the rocky shore below. While the scenery around the trail is exceptional – if you’re lucky, you may even see dolphins riding the crest of a wave – pay attention to what’s right next to you. Depending on the season, the path comes alive with native dune plants and wildflowers. Butterflies and birds cluster around to enjoy this bounty of bright flora. Batteries to Bluffs crisscrosses trickling seeps and hidden springs along the way to Battery Crosby, a historic gun battery you can explore to your heart’s content.
