Leader: Alina Constantinescu
Distance and Duration of Walk: 12 miles (2,000 ft elevation gain), about 7 hours of walking with break for lunch, plus travel time from North Berkeley BART. 

This year’s long walk takes us across San Francisco - we’ll explore the City East to West putting a ‘parks and stairs’ twist to Bay to Breakers. We’ll cross the City from the Embarcadero to Land’s End via hidden parks, stairs, and less-explored, but fun landmarks.

Dandelion Fountain? Check. New Francisco Park? Check. Wave Organ? Check. Pet Cemetery? Why not? Pack your lunch for a break at the Tunnel Tops Park in the Presidio. After lunch, we continue marching West, under the Golden Gate Bridge and onto the Coastal Trail skirting the Pacific towards aptly named Land’s End. We will cover about 6 miles before lunch and 6 miles after lunch. We aim to be at our final destination at Land’s End about 4 PM and board the 38 Muni bus back to Embarcadero BART.

We’ll be taking the 8:24 AM BART train to SF. Bring your Clipper card. We will return by BART around 5:30p or 6 PM. Parking at BART is free on weekends. If you’re boarding at other stops, please meet us in the first car. If you’d like to travel to Embarcadero on your own, please meet the group at the California St Cable Car terminus at 8:55 AM. Please email Alina ahead of time so we know to look for you at the Embarcadero.
