Hiking Route Description:
This is an amazing route which probably has in it a quarter of the city attractions and you can see them all in about an hour hike! We also saw the Yoda statue.
Hike Description:
This will be a really beautiful and historic hike through the Presidio. We will meet at the Arguello Gate, walk along the Ecology Trail, then through the army base to see the old Officers Homes and a display of historic cannons used by the army.We will then go to the Palace of Fine Arts for a break and a little snack (10-20 minutes), and then we will head back.
Here is some information about the Presidio:

A thought for it you do this walk again, there is a lot of free parking at the Palace of Fine Arts, if you wanted to start from there next time. There's that big parking lot behind the Exploritorium :-)
Laura, good point about the parking lot. But the area where we will start from has very good street parking so it should be ok.
I would like to joing this hike and possible bring my dog but I'm 4.5 months pregnant and not sure if I'll be able to keep up. I exercised moderately prior to pregnancy but was by no means an experienced hiker. What do you think? Kat
Kat, I always try to be inclusive, so I say give it a try. If it is too hard for you, you can maybe take a bus or catch a cab home or back to your car at the midway point of the hike.
This was a really fun hike. By the way after this, I found even more cannons in the Presidio :)
The other cannons are batteries along the bay.
There are 3 or 4 huge batteries facing the water. But only one cannon is actually in place.
I went there once and the existing cannon was covered up. But it was pretty gigantic.
