This short trail provides a great way to see the bluffs near the Presidio and offers views of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin that are hard to beat. The trail is mostly steep, with several places with steps and some climbing if you decide to take the side trip down to Marshall Beach.
It is 0.7 mi/1 km short, which allows for you to extend your hike along the Coastal Trail to the Golden Gate Bridge.
