About This Trail

Imported description
The Batteries to Bluffs Trail has a wild western shoreline. The route takes visitors along the cliffs, allowing them to explore historic gun batteries, seeps and springs, coastal plants and wildlife. The short trail is a great way to see the bluffs near the Presidio and the Golden Gate Bridge. The trail is marked moderate because there are several places with steps and some climbing if you decide to take the side trip down to Marshall Beach. It is possible to enjoy a long sunset over the Pacific Ocean and the lights of the Golden Gate Bridge at the end of the day.
