The Famous City Hike - May 31

You and your friends are invited to join us for a grueling but ludicrously wonderful hike from Powell street to Sausalito THIS Saturday, May 31st.

This is a fantastic hike from Powell Street to Sausalito. The 10 mile hike has steep hills, winding stairs and a good 5-6 hours of walking. We’ll go in stores, see the Emporium dome, peak into the cable-car house, get our free sample of Ghirardelli chocolate and watch cruise ships pass under our feet as we walk across the Golden Gate. Then we’ll ride a boat back to the Embarcadero for dinner in the city.
