Highlights
Outing Highlights
Across the Golden Gate into the Marin Headlands
The tour crosses the Golden Gate Bridge and climbs into the Marin Headlands, routing drivers past the Baker-Barry Tunnel and into a coastal wilderness on the city’s doorstep — a short, dramatic move from urban grid to open headland.
Hawk Hill, Nike Sites and Optional Beach Detours
Hawk Hill provides the classic lookout over the bridge and bay; the suggested route also allows optional detours to Rodeo Beach and historic Nike missile sites for shoreline exposure and military-era landmarks.
Return via Crooked Lombard and San Francisco Neighborhoods
On the return the tour can thread through city icons — Lombard Street’s crooked switchbacks, Russian Hill, Fisherman’s Wharf, Crissy Field, Fort Point, Fort Mason, the Marina and the Presidio — making the outing a compact sampler of both shoreline vistas and urban landmarks.
