It's the final leg of the Doublecross Trail!

From West Portal we'll head to the wooded natural amphitheater of Stern Grove, looking for Victorian era roadhouse the Trocadero Clubhouse where bullet holes still mark the exterior, hinting at the former inn’s rowdy past. The trail continues past Lake Merced and Pine Lake, two of only three natural freshwater lakes in the city (Mountain Lake in the Presidio is the other), a vital part of the Pacific Flyway providing habitat for migrating birds. We'll end at the bluffs at San Francisco’s southwest corner at Fort Funston, watching for swooping hang gliders, concrete bunkers that were once part of the city’s coastal defense system, and happy dogs at this popular walking spot.

Bring a lunch! Rain or shine. (390' elevation gain, five miles)
