"Have you had a go at San Francisco's Crosstown Trail, which just celebrated its six-year anniversary? A day's worth of hiking from Candlestick Point State Park to Land's End Lookout Visitor Center, with plenty of toilets, cafes, and amazing views to help you make it to the end, the Crosstown Trail provides a fun challenge for avid walkers and urban explorers of most ages."
"Called the Double Cross because it forms an "x" with the original Crosstown Trail (as opposed what you're feet might be experiencing around mile 10, when you insist on powering through to the next stop), this trail is more than just a greatest hits of San Francisco scenery-it's a tangible reminder that while there may truly be no more unmapped terrain to "discover," there's always the potential for a remix."
48 Hills is promoting its 51st Best of the Bay Readers' Poll and hosting an Annual Community Gala on October 22, 6pm-9pm at El Rio to honor winners. The Crosstown Trail recently marked its six-year anniversary and offers a day's hiking from Candlestick Point State Park to Land's End Lookout Visitor Center, with toilets, cafes, and scenic views for walkers and urban explorers. The Double Cross Trail debuted in 2024 as a 14-plus-mile route from Fort Funston to Pier 23, passing Lake Merced, Twin Peaks, the Painted Ladies at Alamo Square, Coit Tower, and waterfront stretches. The Double Cross was created during the COVID-19 pandemic by Arnie Thompson, John Trevithick, and Chris Rupright and serves as a complementary, must-do remix of San Francisco's urban trails.
