Description
Quote "Visit California" -- Wrapping around the north end of San Francisco, the Presidio, a 1,491-acre park that’s part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, is an outstanding destination for families, adventure seekers, history buffs, and anyone else who likes to relax on the edge of one of the most beautiful bays in the world. First, there are the beaches (and how many major cities have several beaches?).
Hiking and mountain-biking trails loop through the heavily wooded park. In late 2020, a restoration project opened seven acres' worth of new land to explore that was previously inaccessible. The Quartermaster Reach Marsh restoration offers an elevated pedestrian bridge and trail through the marsh populated by fish, crabs, oysters, and enough winged riparians to make it a birder’s destination. The various trails are also a wonderful way to see evidence of the Presidio’s past life: From 1846, before California was even a state, until 1994, it was an active U.S. Army base.
