Presidio Promenade

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

In the 80th jubilee of the Golden Gate Bridge we were back for the SF Marathon here. Every time a great experience. And for the third time I'm drawn by mountain bike to "Mount Tam". Every time a strenuous day trip. But there are many beautiful routes where the MTB was invented. And every time it's just awesome!

Tennessee Valley Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Tennessee Valley Trail is a wide multi-use path flanked by horse pastures, starting on sandy gravel at Tennessee Beach and turning into a paved road where the picnic area (a former farm) spur merges in, toward the trailhead parking area at the Miwok horse riding stables. Here bikers can either turn north or south on Miwok Trail, south on Marincello Trail, or simply continue straight on the road to Sausalito.

Marincello Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Marincello Trail climbs from the Tennessee Valley parking/trailhead to the top of the ridge separating it from Rodeo Valley. While climbing out of Tennessee Valley it offers spectacular views of the North Bay to San Rafael, to the West all the way down to the pacific, and to San Francisco and Golden Gate Bridge peeking through the ridgeline to the South. It is named for the road that was constructed in the 1960s by developers hoping to build a massive residential community into the headlands, which was finally defeated in the 1970s when local residents managed to put the entire area under protection.

Bobcat Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Bobcat Trail drops into Gerbode Valley from the height of the ridge separating Tennessee Valley from Rodeo Valley, offering expansive views West across the Marin Headlands to the Pacific Ocean, and South toward the ridge along the Golden Gate, with San Francisco and the top of the Golden Gate Bridge tower peaking through.

Golden Gate Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

When you think of the iconic features of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the first things that comes to mind. This impressive suspension bridge links the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula to Marin County, with fantastic views of the city, marina and Crissy Field. It’ is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco, California, and the United States, putting it at the top of many cyclist's bucket lists.

While crossing, you can gaze up at the towering beams above or look down into the deep waters of the San Francisco Strait below you as sailboats drift by in the mouth of the Bay. Traveling along the Bridge can be cold, windy, and foggy, even in the summer, so dress appropriately.

At the south end, you can purchase a souvenir at the Golden Gate Bridge Pavilion and visit the café next to the visitor center. Restrooms are at both the north and south ends, and cyclists have toll-free access to the Bridge's sidewalks 24 hours a day. A bike ride across this extraordinary Bridge is an adventure you don't want to miss!

Golden Gate Overlook - Battery Bouteille

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Golden Gate Overlook was rebuilt in 2015 on the highest point of the Godfrey Battery in the Presidio, in the exact axis of the Golden Gate Bridge, so that the second tower is precisely framed by the first tower, and offering perfect views across the water and to the Marin Headlands. Information panels explain the massive coastal military fortifications dating from the turn of the century.
