Lands End

Yes, you can enjoy stunning nature views without leaving the city! This 3.5-mile loop is located right in downtown San Francisco and travels along the ocean cliffs and through cypress groves. There is even a small path that leads down to Mile Rock Beach, a rugged but coastal area with picturesque views over the Golden Gate Bridge. You can make other stops along the way at the historic Sutro Bath ruins, the Palace of the Legion of Honor Museum, and Fort Miley.
