San Francisco is a compact city, and you can walk 17 miles across some of its best attributes on the new Crosstown Trail, which we’ve described in detail. Starting from Sunrise Point, you’ll pass through the Community Gardens and McLaren Park in the first segment. Segment Two highlights include the farm animals of the Virginia Leishman Farm and a nearly three-mile stretch along the Laguna Honda Community Trail. Segment Three hits the Sunset District and includes a rather steep climb up a staircase to the Rocky Outcrop garden area and the Hidden Garden Tiled Steps, one of the city’s more unique viewpoints Written by Tim Wenger, photo by Margaret W/Shutterstock #sanfrancisco #hiking
