The Sutro Baths Upper Trail to Point Lobos in San Francisco, California is a moderate 0.3 mile one-way trail that starts along the Coastal Trail at Lands End and heads out to Point Lobos before climbing back up to the parking lot.
This trail has stunning views of the coastal cliffs along with the ruins of the Sutro Baths below. The hike starts off heading downhill from either trailhead. If you plan to hike this trail in the opposite direction, make sure to stay right at the trail junction after the initial staircase down towards the Sutro Baths. If you start this hike from the trailhead listed here, just continue along the trail, through the cypress trees, until you reach a large concrete lookout point - Point Lobos.
Continuing on from Point Lobos, you'll hike along cliff edges before hitting a trail junction that leads up a set of stairs back to the parking lot.
Warning: Cliff hike, watch your step!
