Description: The Presidio seems a world away from urban life with its various historic and cultural structures. This walk offers vistas of the bay and lots of forested scenery. We'll pass Mountain Lake and the National Cemetery. The route also includes the Spire and Wood Line, two art installations by renowned artist Andy Goldsworthy. Although partially burned in 2020 the 100' high Spire remains largely intact and striking. Goldsworthy also has two other art installations that are close to our route if the group would like to check them out.
Bring/Wear: Lunch, snacks, plenty of water, sunscreen, layers and comfortable walking shoes.
Rain Policy: Canceled in the event of heavy rain.
Carpooling Fee: $6 from Rockridge BART; MUNI from SF. (Please make sure you've arranged to be picked up at Rockridge before showing up.)
