There\u2019s a new trail in town! The Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy just launched the Golden Gate Dozen Trail, a 13-mile route that strings together 12 national park sites across San Francisco. <\/p>\n

As of July 1st, AllTrails offers the new trail as a single continuous hike or bike ride from Crissy Field on the northeastern waterfront all the way to Fort Funston on the Pacific coast.<\/p>\n

The trail passes through some of the most historically layered and visually distinct corners of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA): Presidio Tunnel Tops, Fort Point, Baker Beach, China Beach, Lands End, the ruins of Sutro Baths<\/a>, Ocean Beach, and more.<\/p>\n

How to access the Golden Gate Dozen<\/p>\n

The full route is now listed on AllTrails<\/a> through a new partnership between the Parks Conservancy and AllTrails\u2019 Public Lands Program. <\/p>\n

Turn-by-turn directions for both hikers and cyclists are available on the Parks Conservancy\u2019s website<\/a>, and accessible options are also included for visitors with mobility considerations.<\/p>\n

1 trail, 12 national park sites<\/p>\n

The route is designed to move visitors through some of the best parts of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area<\/a>, which is the second-most-visited national park in the country.<\/p>\n

Visitors can hike or bike through a range of distinct landscapes and historical eras, including a dozen national park sites in sequence:<\/p>\n

The trail also comes with an adorable donut-shaped mascot, meant to symbolize sharing a \u201cdozen\u201d with others. Visitors can collect stickers featuring the mascot at the Presidio Visitor Center, the Warming Hut, and the Lands End Lookout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtesy of Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy Reviewed by:\u00a0 \u00a0\u2013\u00a0 Senior Staff Writer \u00a0\u00b7\u00a0 July 2, 2026 There\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":384520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-384519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
