So, you are going to the City(San Francisco that is) for a holiday outing. You like to walk and hike, and stroll about the town you know so well after all these years. Well, Amigo, there's something new for you to explore: the cross City Trail, just recently opened.

As you can see, the trail starts in the south east quadrant of the City, not far from the old Candlestick stadium. It follows a diagonal route northwest across the axis that bisects the environment offering great views along the way. One last obstacle was recently removed near St. Francis Woods: a blackberry vine- covered depression that interrupted the path. After dozens of hardworking hikers chopped and cut their way through, the route was complete.
The trail ends appropriately at Lands End in the northwest quadrant of the City. Here the hiker can enjoy the scenic surroundings that overlook the vast Pacific extending westward to the farallones Islands and beyond. Perhaps a migrating pod of whales will be seen on their annual trip(north/south).
Perhaps an impossibly burdened container ship struggles past the Potato Patch into the SF Bay, or a sleek ocean liner with several decks is passing under the Golden Gate bridge enroute to the Mexica Riviera or the Panama Canal. No matter which it is, the view is world class, even when foggy.
