this is san francisco: the outside lands

golden gate park is in fact a gateway to the pacific ocean running west through san francisco. the 3 mile park was planted with hundreds of thousands of trees to create a root structure that would stabilize the natural sand dune topography of the area, once known as the outside lands. Now this route is all park and then ocean.

 

bicycle and pedestrian signal at panhandle and masonic. watch out for cars running their red arrow when you have the green.

 

as you cruise the panhandle bike path be aware of hippies, dogs, and other road users.
westward toward the ocean

on sundays without cars

All the way to the mighty pacific

where the great highway should be the boardwalk.

san francisco love.
