Mount Davidson Park, San Francisco, CA

Mt. Davidson Park is the tallest point in San Francisco sitting at 938 feet. The mountainside park has a few easy to moderate hiking trails, once the top of the mountain has been reached; a beautiful view of San Francisco can be seen. On one side of the mountain visitors will find a few trails within a small lush forest of trees and shrubs; on the other side of the mountain views of San Francisco to the Oakland ports can ben seen. There is a 103 foot concrete cross that is a memorial of the Armenian Genocide that happened between 1915-1923 in Armenia.

This is the parks entrance located on Myra Way. The easiest way I found to getting to the main entrance without getting lost is by going up Market St. which will turn into Portola Dr. and make a left on to Teresita BLVD and a quick right onto Juanita Way and go all the way down till you reach Dalewood Way then make a left and you will see the parks entrance on the left.
***Note that there is a entrance point on Juanita Way into the park but the trail is moderate and at a few points is strenuous.

This is the starting path from the main entrance.

This is at a split where the trail can go up or to the right.

Almost reaching the top!




Made it!



Keep following the path to the eucalyptus forest.

Overall Mt. Davidson has some great hiking trails that lead to beautiful views. The park is surrounded by a residential area and there is ample parking. The 36 Muni bus stops right at the entrance. It unfortunately is not wheelchair friendly unless you have some off roading wheels on that wheelchair.  There are no bathrooms or drinking fountains or kids playground. The main trailhead is the most kid friendly.

Thanks for stoping by!
