What is San Francisco’s 49 Mile Scenic Drive?
In 1938 San Francisco created a “49 mile” loop-trail around the city to show off the best of San Francisco to visitors attending the 1939 Golden Gate International Expo. It was a hit. (more history…)
People who love SF have been following those 100+ retro seagull signs around SF ever since.
Now a new generation has reinvented the historic route as a green, healthy walking adventure!
Instead of zooming by San Francisco’s most picturesque spots in a closed car, you are invited to explore her breathtaking and quirky locales face-to-face, one step at a time—hiking through her parks, along the cliffs, through forgotten neighborhoods, and past treasured SF landmarks.
So go ahead, grab this turn-by-turn guide… grab your family, a friend, a hot date, or your dog… and start WALKING San Francisco’s 49 Mile Scenic Drive.

TESTIMONIAL
I can’t tell you how fun this was and what a good time I had. The book is TERRIFIC. I can hardly wait to do more of these walks. I loved all the tidbits of information you gathered and feel like I know this beautiful city so much better now.
TESTIMONIAL
I would absolutely do Walk 11 again. It was a fantastic walk. The Stow Lake portion is a whole walk in itself and great for dogs. Loved the waterfall and view from the top of Strawberry Hill and all the historical facts.
