DIRECTIONS From the Presidio’s Marina Gate entrance at the west end of Marina Blvd., go west on Mason St. 1 mile to a paved parking area, left.

FACILITIES/TRAILHEAD A visitor center with food, restrooms, phone, and water is on the southwest corner of Mason and Halleck streets, about 0.6 mile east of the parking area. The center is open Wednesday through Sunday, 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. There are no facilities at the trailhead, which is on the west end of the parking area. Some of this route follows streets used by cars: if there is no sidewalk, walk on the left side of the street, facing traffic.

From the west end of the parking area, go west several hundred feet on Mason Ave. to its junction with Crissy Field Ave. Turn sharply left and follow Crissy Field Ave. uphill, passing under Doyle Dr., to a junction with McDowell Ave. Here you angle right and climb moderately past the Presidio stables and the park’s archives and records center. You can visit the Presidio San Francisco Pet Cemetery, an unusual landmark, under Doyle Dr., on the southwest side of Crissy Field Ave.
