Visiting Local Parks (#3): Lands End and Mile Rock Beach, San Francisco

“Can I point out something to you?”

Said the old lady who was on her return route from stroll around the park with her daughter and her husband. The lady pointed her hand towards the newly built loft across the street from the park entrance. The window on the loft was glistening with blissful sunlight and reflecting branches of tree on its surface; its shape ever so changing as the clouds veil the sun and soften the tree image.

“I’ve never seen that before…doesn’t it look like photograph?”

I nodded and watched the sun reappears from the edges of clouds to paint the image of tree on perfectly quadrilateral window.

“This city has so many things to take picture about.”

The lady smiled and wished me a good photo hike on the Lands End.

Lands End is perhaps the San Franciscans’ most beloved evening run/hike spot that is more accessible and as scenic as Point Reyes on the North side of Golden Gate Bridge.

The trail that enters from the east side of park on Eagle’s Point via El Camino del Mar offers much powerful views of nature compared to the west side of park near Sutro Bath (I have photos of this part of Lands End in this post).

One particularly beautiful spot along the northern coast is Mile Rock Beach. There is a strange stone labyrinth on top of the hill.

Lands End is part of Golden Gate National Park and it is located at the northwestern tip of San Francisco. Park is accessible by bus and trails are generally in great condition. Highly recommended for evening hike to catch the astonishing sunset by the Pacific as well as iconic view of Golden Gate Bridge.

The trail I took on today’s hike starts from the east end of park from El Camino del Mar through Eagle’s Point and Mile Rock Beach. Mild 2-3 miles round trip with plenty of oceanic vistas and peaceful ambiance. Highlight is the sunset from the top of cliff on Mile Rock Beach.
