Bunkers, butt burner, Bay views — oh my! This well-maintained and partially-paved (lower section) trail sits just above Rodeo Beach, where surfers, dog parents and picnickers alike go to enjoy the rather large, yet less-populated sand and sea setting. On a clear day, the top of Hill 88, an important Nike missile radar site during the Cold War, provides sweeping views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge from the west. Listen for seals below and seagulls soaring above. With roughly 1,000 feet of elevation gain, don’t cave before reaching the top; the view of the city through the graffitied frame of a bunker window is something you’ll want to capture. Overall, it’s a lovely place to be on a warm day — there’s almost always a nice breeze, which helps with the lack of shade along the trail. Tip: If you’re going on a weekend, plan to go early to avoid heavy traffic midday — the only road in is a single lane.
