Baker Beach to The Interval

We meet at the Baker Beach Parking lot off Gibson Rd as the fog is still sitting low over the Golden Gate. From there we climb up out of the beach and head east through the Presidio — quiet trails under cypress and eucalyptus, past the Lodge at the Presidio, then a long gentle descent toward the bay. We pop out at Crissy Field and follow the waterfront the rest of the way to The Interval at Long Now in Fort Mason, where coffee and the Long Now bookshelf are waiting. Pack weight 15–20 lbs is plenty; the route is point-to-point (about 5 miles) so plan a Lyft, MUNI, or shuttle back to your car. Bring a layer for the wind off the water and a full water bottle.
