This is one of my family's favorite places to go and where we always take out-of-towners who come to visit. The views, the trails, both common and less known... we haven't even scratched the surface with all the trails. Amazing California beauty. Makes me feel fortunate to live in Northern California when we go here.
Chilly wind from across the bay requireda lot of warm clothing though
Great views, great trails, and great historical significance throughout the entire park.
Beautiful park and an amazing hike. if you are looking for something to do outside of exploring the city, get outside and see some gorgeous views.
En route to the hike, it has one of the best views of golden gate bridge. But the hike in itself is nothing spectacular, but it is one of those hikes which won't drain you out, but would still give you a satisfaction of having a decent hike. Other than the view of the bridge, it also has some nice beaches surrounding the hike which is nice. Overall a nice hiking spot for beginners and experienced people alike.
Great place. I rode a bike throw th golden gate. It was fantastic. I really recommend to take a ride
Golden gate national recreation area. Has a lot of great places that you can visit with your family. There are some area like Point Cavallo, Battery Yates, Golden Gate Bridge view vista point, Kirby Cove Beach, Black Sands Beach, Rodeo Beach, The Marine Mammal Center; among of others. Nice place for walk, learn about nature, swim, and the most important spent time with your family.
Omg, could've spent 2 more days here. Breathtaking views of the iconic bridge.
It was not easy to find a pay parking, better allow plenty of time.
Clean, didn't see any hobo's or bums trying to camp out and downgrade the place. Nice picnic area and really nice trail to the Golden Gate !
The bridge it self makes it hard for other parks to compete!
It's a really nice place to get out, stretch your legs, and picnic. There's a statue there, but I was more interested in the views. There are 50 cent telescopes to view landmarks such as Angel Island and Alcatraz. There is also a legend on the telescope that shows you where to look. On clear days you can see San Francisco across the water. It's a really nice vista point. There is ample parking, and I believe there's a tour bus line that stops here as well.
Lovely place to be with friends and family. It has all what is required , a beach , a chocolate place , hard rock , pier39 , etc. Street activities taking place every now and then sweeps your off your feet !! There are many restaurants on the way that are beautifully decorated and lit up . Very well maintained and a clean place.
You must check this place out. The beaches are breathtaking. The view of the golden gate bridge is superb. This place has very beautiful sights.
While there are viewing loints you can walk or cycle across the bridge. I recommend hiring a bike. It's a leisurely cycle so no need for huge fitness level. There are stop off points across the bridge. Stop and take in the sights. Be careful to go when it's not misty or your views will be limited. Recommended.
Very lovely scenery. You feel like you are in another world
Excellent hiking location that covers a vast area with outstanding views. To get the best out of this place your going to need a guide book, one of the best things I like to explore was the military history of the area, there's so many old forts, gun emplacements and the old missile sites.
Pretty but very crowded not much to do parking costs a good amount as well so bring cash
I love riding my bike here from SF. It can be tricky to get safely across the GG bridge if there are a lot of tourists on it that day.
An incredible sight, must take star away due to construction blocking off observation areas when we were visiting March 2017...
As it stood in 2 pillars only and the structure was amazing
A wonderful park with many places to see. Definitely a must see.
I enjoy going to S.F. it is my home town. Love visiting different places in The City. We do so many things. We Eat, Play, See Concerts, lots of Vista Points.
My fav fav fav is to go from Berkeley to this place and further throughout the bay for these luxurious views!
It was drizzling but extremely beautiful! Can't wait to see it again.
Nice place to take pictures of the bridge. Parking lot is a hassle though. Expect long lines there and at the bathroom.
Beautiful place, everyone should get to see once in their life, this would be an awesome place for a picnic or photo opportunity!!
I love the laid back beach scene. Locals and nothing more. Great place to relax
A great place to visit and explore. Very family friendly.
Beautiful area. Bring some snacks and water so you can take your time and explore. There are lots of trails and plenty of cliffs to check out. If you have the time you can even take a trail down to the beach. There are typically lots of friendly people walking around who can help you if you are lost or looking for a particular trail.
Golden Gate Park is a beautiful, massive park that spans across the entirety of San Francisco, California. Golden Gate Park has everything from basketball courts to baseball fields to squash courts. Whether you're looking to walk your dog, go for a run, play some tennis, meet up with friends or just chill at the park, Golden Gate Park has something for you.
Great (and abundant) public use areas that have been made available for people to see and enjoy one of America's most iconic landmarks.
I can see the appeal if you are there as a SF resident. It is a really nice place to jog, hike or to walk your dog. However if you are short of time as a tourist, you do not need to prioritize this park.
Beautiful place to get back to Nature and just unwind and enjoy your surroundings.
A great stop for a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. I think you get a more scenic view from the beach on the west side of the bridge, but this a great stop to get a family photo of the bridge.
Amazing Park area. Great live performances near hippy hills. The vibes at the place are amazing.
Very scenic. Quite a few things to do whether it's mountain bike riding hiking walking with your dog Etc I would highly recommend a stop at this spot
A beautiful place to go and see the City lights w/o the stress of driving.....
Nice dog friendly park and beach. Hang gliders sometimes use this park as well which is cool too see!
Incredible experience to be able to walk the long span of strength & history.
Camped here for free. Can't beat that. Plus this place has amazing views
A great place to watch the ocean to Golden gate bridge and a lot of cute dogs
One of the few National Parks free for public (Point Reyes is another one) of beauty and unsurpassed scenery. You can hike for miles - Ocean Beach, Lands End, Legion of Honor, GG Bridge, Crissy Field.
One of a kind views make this a highly suggested visit if you're in the area.
Muir beach is a great place to look around. The hike to the top is totally worth it.
It's great to have such wonderful nature in the city. There's always a place to enjoy the breeze through the trees.
Perfect place to get that postcard photo!
Even took one of my favorite engagement photos here.
Make time to check this out when you are in SFO! Amazing scenery around the bridge.
Excelent for a walk. There are some sections of the bridge with chain link fence takes the beauty away.
Absolutely in love with San Francisco, especially the views from Golden Gate National park! So beautiful and calming. Wish I lived here
Perfect place to relax and to spend some time in peace.
The park is anazing. There are activities for everyone and all age groups. Cycling, running, sightseeing. On clear days the vies is slectacular and definitely a must do if you are in SF. The cycling ride from Sports Basement to Sausalito is fantastic. You can book your bike online for rental at sports basement Presidio website and just pick it up there in the morning with everything you need to enjoy a beautiful ride to the other side of the bay.
Very popular place, but really nice. Nice view over the water, well maintained trails.
It's beautiful, it's gorgeous, it's majestic and quiet. It's great for adults and children. Please take the whole family along with any friends you have as well.
Took the the red and white Fleet under the Bay Bridge it was phenomenal!! Worth the money I would suggest it plus gives a very informative narrative while you're on the cruise.
It was fun to visit this recreational park area and look out across the bay at San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. When we went it was a little bit busy, but there was still room to park. There wasn't much to do here other than take pictures.
Magnificent view and warm sand made me relaxed and happy within 20 minutes
Tim, You are talking about the La Crescents View trail I believe and yes it is a bit dangerous in a few areas. I myself won't take my dog past a certain point. There actually needs to be a retaining wall built on some of that area. I prefer the Rim of the Valley hike. It is very beautiful and safer than the Crescenta View hike. The uphill grades are more gentle. I love taking my dog on this hike. Beware the bugs are starting to come out so you will need some bug protection. Bring plenty of water. It is best to hike very early in the morning or in the evening during the summer months.
Beautiful views of ocean. Easy trails very flat, could probably ride in a wheel chair. Both gravel and dirt trials. Bunnies come out just before Sunset which can be spectacular. Although many signs saying dogs must be on leash, only about 1/2 the hikers listen.
Unbelievably beautiful. Traffic up is slow but so worth the view. Don't miss it.
Love this park. A great place for a quick getaway within the city. I recommend walking the dog on a leash here.
Beautiful place, if you want to go to the lighthouse it is only open sat-mon 12:30pm-3:30pm and their is a wait to cross and be at the lighthouse but you can see from across the last bridge, it is a beautiful view and you can see seals, also from April to June whale seeing is awesome.
It's beautiful and fun here! A great place for grandma and the kids!
Typical tourist place to take photos. With stopping but not a lot to do.
Driving along Highway 1 is sooooo beautiful! Such a beautiful sight to see. Started in Santa Cruz and drove up to San Francisco
You can spend hours exploring all the different groves, museum's and parks. Well worth the stop on a vacation or just locals looking for a little space and greenery. One of the best parks in the nation.
Alcatraz is Rich in California history. Well worth the visit.
Great views. Big waves for surfing. Many trails along the cliffs. Places for jogging along the beach. The beach is great for campfires or watching the sunset. Bring a jacket because the wind can make it chilly. Lots of dogs. I saw a female bald eagle that I got within 10 feet of on a trail.
Ocean and coastal line, rain soaked rolling hills.Very beautiful under the sun.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. The views, the weather. Highly recommend this place...
