Hiking in the Presidio in San Francisco

The Presidio in San Francisco has a long and storied history. It has evolved from an army training center into a major recreation hub.

The southern anchor of the Golden Gate Bridge, the verdant, scenic Presidio, artfully reclaimed Crissy Field, and the Civil War-era Fort Point are just a few of the attractions in the northwest corner of town.

Seriously, we love San Francisco. It's a perfect storm of culture, history, gorgeous views, amazing food... we could go on and on. Anywhere you visit in the city is bound to be interesting and well worth your time, but if you get the chance, stop by The Presidio, one of the City by the Bay's coolest parks. Like most of San Francisco, it has great weather, stunning coastal views, and a rich history, but the Presidio is unique. It's been used for military operations pretty much since the first…

It's blissfully untouched... and you can order margaritas.

Lodge at the Presidio is a historic boutique hotel in the Presidio of San Francisco, located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

The Lyon Street Steps, also called the Lyon Street Stairs, is a 288 step hidden staircase in San Francisco tucked between the Presidio and Pacific Heights. A favorite spot for fitness buffs, the secret staircase stretches from Cow Hollow and Green Street to Pacific Heights and Billionaire's Row on Broadway Street.
