A 1017 acre park featuring nature in an otherwise urban city.

Spend a day exploring Golden Gate Park by jogging, cycling, or leisurely strolling. There are so many fantastic stops in the park including a variety of lakes, playgrounds, a golf course, the California Academy of Science, the Conservatory of Flowers, and much much more! It is definitely worth spending a day here.

The Conservatory of Flowers is a greenhouse and botanical garden that houses numerous species of plants in different climates. It's multi-roomed and visitors can plan to spend 30 min - 1 hr here.

There are multiple rooms with many different plant species in them. You gotta read all the little signs to learn the names.

I try to visit botanical gardens when I travel, and this was a spectacular spot. But please do allow for most of the day, I only had a few hours and I didn’t see nearly everything. Beautiful way to spend a day!

Twin Peaks and Mt. Sutro Loop

Are you thinking, hit up two of the bigger peaks in SF, what a great idea? Well, you thought right! The first mile and a half is uphill as you charge to the top of Twin Peaks. This 6% grade leads to a 460 ft elevation gain. The good news is, if it's not foggy, the views of the bay are stunning, especially if you're running this route just before sunset. Once you get up to the parking lot at Twi...

Mount Sutro Open Space Reserve Loop

The Mount Sutro Open Space hike is one of those gems that's just hiding in plain site. Most people live in San Francisco for years without ever knowing this hike even exists - which is totally fine with us. This 2+ mile loop is an easy, quick way to get back in touch with nature after a long day. As you'll see once you begin making your way towards to top, there are many different paths you can...

Stow Lake And Strawberry Hill

Strawberry Hill is one of the hidden gems of Golden Gate Park. It is named after the once abundant strawberry fields that inhabited the island. The hill, which reaches up to 430ft, is located in the middle of Stow Lake and has 2 foot bridges for access. This is a great place to run if you're looking to get away from the crowds in the park, but you may want to take a few laps to get your full wo...

Stow Lake

Not too many people know that you can rent a rowboat at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park, but you can. And you should! This is one of my favorite ways to spend a few hours on a beautiful day in San Francisco. Grab your loved one, your favorite bottle of wine, some snacks, and hop in a rowboat. You’ll float under a couple of bridges, past the waterfall on Strawberry Hill, and along shore where you...
