THIS CLASS IS :30 MINS LONGER. PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME.

Lands Ends Trail in SF provides a uniquely stunning view of the coast line and the failed historic attempt to harness the wealth of mother nature. Join this day as we explore the Sutro Baths, caves and tunnels of the Lands End Trail.

Drop Off/Pick Up Info:   Sutro Baths, 1004 Point Lobos Ave, San Francisco, CA 94121. Park in the Lands End Lookout Main Parking Lot, entrance on Point Lobos Ave., just west of El Camino Del Mar/48thAve. The road along the Sutro Baths overview is still noted as Merrie Way on maps, but was renovated to be part of the parking arrangement rather than a connecting road to Point Lobos.
Parking is available at the Lands End Lookout parking lot, but that often gets full, so we typically park on El Camino Del Mar, or at the parking lot near the USS San Francisco Memorial. 

Toilet facilities are available at the Lands End Lookout visitor center.

Wear - 
MUST WEAR SNEAKERS/HIKING SHOES ABSOLUTELY NO CROCS
Layers (it's SF coastline)

Parent Notes:
Getting to the Sutro Bath ruins involves steep stairs or rocky pathways. Those who are not up for the stairs and steep paths can still enjoy a glorious view and the Lookout visitor center.

Slippery sandals, crocs or high heels are not recommended for the descent to the Sutro Bath ruins. Reasonable walking shoes recommended.

Heed any posted warning signs. They are there for good reason.
