While it’s well-known that the Bay Area has thousands of miles of breathtaking trails and parks, there are also quite a few fantastic hiking trails within the confines of San Francisco itself.
Located in the Bernal Heights neighborhood just south of the Mission District, Bernal Heights Park is a designated off-leash park for dogs, so expect to see lots of them running around this 1-mile hike to the peak.
Technically not one trail, but an entire trail system, the Presidio of San Francisco includes 24 miles of trails, by far the most complex trail system in the city.
Some of the most notable trails in the park include the Batteries to Bluffs Trail, Presidio Bay Area Ridge Trail, and Coastal Trail.
