I regularly hike both the Presidio's Batteries to Bluffs Trail and the Connector Trail between Immigrant Point Overlook and Lincoln Blvd. and like to vary the routes used to get there from various bus stops.
The Bay Area Ridge Trail starts at the end of the golf course buildings (off Arguello Blvd.), continues past Andy Goldsworthy's Spire (first pic), and through the forest to the Cemetery Overlook's south entrance.
Down the 98 steps on the west side of the Cemetery Overlook (second through sixth pics) to the Park Trail (seventh pic), then under the Fort Scott overpass and to the backs of the residences for a walk through the Community Garden (pix 8, 9, 10). From the garden onto a short trail that leads to Rob Hill Campground, noticed the tire swing on this trail was gone. Looks like the old rope broke as part of it's still hanging from the tree branch.
Immigrant Point Overlook is at the north side of the campground (occupied today). The Connector Trail (208 steps, pics 11 and 12) descends to Lincoln Blvd.
Crossed Lincoln to do the Batteries to Bluffs (Pics 13 and 14, 470-ish steps), its west trailhead a short distance downhill, accessed from atop Battery Crosby.
