The Coit Tower Trail in San Francisco, California is a short but moderate 0.5 mile loop walk to the scenic Telegraph Hill.
This recording starts along Filbert Street and climbs the stairs following signs for Coit Tower. Cross Telegraph Hill Blvd and climb the next set of stairs up to the trail tucked away in the woods just below the tower.
From here, take a right-hand turn and follow more stairs to a viewing platform looking out towards the Bay Bridge and downtown San Francisco.
From here, the recording heads north to the parking lot where you get views of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, and the Bay. After looping around the lot, follow the trail north and downhill to more lookout points of the Bay.
Finally, hike back along the western-most trail, through the woods, and back down the stairs to Filbert Street.
Parking: Please note that parking can be found easily at the coordinates provided, not at the trailhead itself. It may be easier to reverse this hike and start from the north, rather than the south section of Telegraph Hill.
Dogs are allowed on this trail.

MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
