Land's End

At the eastern-most tip of San Francisco, there is a beautiful walking path that follows part of an old train line that used to bring people from downtown to the beach, Sutro Baths, and the Cliff House. Adolph Sutro was Austrian born but, became San Francisco's 24th mayor. He was the mastermind behind the many beach-side attractions and also created a park where he once lived in a modest house, now called Sutro Heights Park.

A friend and I spent the afternoon walking the Land's End path, checking out the spring flowers, the Golden Gate Bridge and the bay. I forgot I was still in the City.
