Go Green with SF Travel!
Take off the leprechaun hat, finish up that Guinness and get in the green spirit with local gold – the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Dozens of natural gems are bundled together under the moniker from Marin’s Olema Valley and Stinson Beach to Alcatraz Island and Baker Beach. Hike the hills while letting Bay Treks feed you snacks, jokes and trail tips. With Best Bay Area Tours, wander secluded trails, artsy Sausalito galleries and Sonoma vineyards. Or lose the crowds and follow Tom's Scenic Trailwalking along lesser-known trails among the redwoods of Muir Woods. Because hiking among the greenery is the only place you'll find a real four-leaf clover. For more info about the natural beauty of our very own Bay Area, check out this insightful piece by Thouseman on sanfrancisco.travel.
