Trail Extension Preview

The Presidio's Anza Trail extension and new pedestrian trail alongside Arguello are not yet completed but I was able to continue through without detouring. 

A pleasant stroll through a section of the Presidio Forest on the Bay Area Ridge Trail was included on my way to the Rob Hill Campground area (pix 1 through 5). Wondering what this little structure at the end of the trail once was.

From the Arguello Gate continued on Washington along the top of the golf course this time, then onto the forested trail, taking the walkers-only trail out to the east side of Rob Hill Campground (pic 6) where I soon came to part of the new trail segment. 


The three steps up to the picnic table were not quite finished, but the 10 new steps down were walkable onto the short boardwalk here (pix 7 through 10). "Like." This is across the street from Immigrant Point Overlook. More pix when it's fully walkable.

Out to Battery Caulfield Road, there are a few more new steps and a new trail between the residences and the street (pic 11) down to where the sidewalk begins. Very nice. 

Continuing down to where the Marine Cemetery Vista Trail begins, past the benches (pics 12, 13), onto the boardwalk (pix 14 through 18) and down the stairs (103 or so, last five) out to 14th Ave. Just to my left both the Mountain Lake and Park Trails were closed at this end due to ongoing work in the Mountain Lake area.

    I like meandering around on San Francisco's park trails and public stairways, sometimes taking photos, and enjoying nature and the outdoors.
