Lands End
“Lands End is a popular family trail, the wide and pleasant dirt path follows the cliffs above the bay of San Francisco. It occasionally heads inland through scrub and eucalyptus trees, just often enough to make the next open view of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco stunning all over again. If you’re making a day of it, check out the California Palace of the Legion of Honor museum, across from the Lincoln Park Golf Course. A short stint on city sidewalks takes you past the mansions of upscale Sea Cliff. The hike next heads to historical China Beach, where you can talk to surfers returning from a morning at Land’s End, the popular surfing spot you can see from Eagle’s Point.
Lincoln Park occupies the Point Lobos headlands at the northwest corner of the San Francisco peninsula. There are scenic walks throughout the park, or you can follow the Coastal Trail through the park from Eagle’s Point, a breathtaking stairway and viewing platform at the northeast corner, all the way to Cliff House and the Sutro Baths.
If you leave the Coastal Trail and follow the trail to Land’s End, you’ll wind your way down the slope through cypress and pine forest to a promontory overlooking the Pacific. Note that the trail to Land’s End is for experienced hikers only, as the steep cliffs and occasional landslides can make the footing treacherous. Also, it’s a long way down from the bluff to the bottom, and we all know what that means when it’s time to return.”
This is a nice place to go and admire the spectacular view. It’s a short hike for one who feel like escaping from the city rat race. Along the trail, you will be able to enjoy the scenery. There’s this tree trunk which has a very nice texture.
When you reach Lands End, there’s this rock formation (man-made) which represents imaginary labyrinth. Not really a maze but if you follow the path and reach the centre point, you will be able to see the best spot of the place. Look at me being excited at the best view point. (Oh well, actually I just walked through the ‘walls’)
When you go down the beach, you can see the nice rocks lying around the place. It was really a very nice view with the waves hitting the rocks too. There are a lot of couples there enjoying the sunset. But my aim there is to take photos. It’s a place worth visiting.
