San Francisco, CA
Hidden Hills, Little Parks, and a Tower Finish
This loop starts quietly in North Beach and then begins collecting small surprises: a tucked-away garden, a private-feeling historic lane, and a steep little climb to a view-packed pocket park. From there, the route opens into a classic city green at Washington Square before tightening again around Telegraph Hill, ending where the skyline, the tower, and the bay all come together.
