Early morning is simply spectacular. Great place to watch the sun rise, and the birds singing in the trees is almost unreal. Wonderful views of the city as well.

Mt Davidson is a scenic and quaint getaway from the buzzing streets of SF. Located close enough to Twin Peaks to almost offer the same views, it brings the advantage of being less crowded, so overall a good time. Reasons you should visit: 1. Dramatic panoramic views in every direction. On a clear day, you can see far the hills of the faraway south bay and diablo area. 2. Tree cover for most of the climb up to the summit, which is unique for an SF park. This is made even better on rainy and foggy days, as the park develops a mystic charm. 3. Surrounded by residential neighborhoods, so there's very little noise pollution from traffic and most foot traffic is friendly. Highly recommend adding to your SF bucket list if you haven't seen it already!

So I parked near a bus stop after picking up a free refrigerator listed on Craigslist because I had to go #1. There was a path going off into the woods and I originally was just going to use a tree to relieve myself but my dog 🐶 Doobie had other ideas and didn’t want to get back into the car so I decided to take him for a little hike and boy am I glad I did just a short walk up the path I saw a gigantic lower case “t” but that’s not why I was glad. The view of San Francisco is breathtaking you can see much more than from twin peaks in my opinion it’s amazing how big San Francisco really is and in such a small area definitely a must see, especially if you live here. Really puts things into perspective. I’ll add more pictures next time I go but here is one of downtown from the summit.

Smells a bit like urine everywhere, but other than that it’s great. Remote, densely wooded, quiet, with great views and a huge hidden cross. Didn’t know it was the cities highest peak, but that’s pretty neat!

Questions & Answers

Can you see the ocean from the top?

And definitely the Bay and downtown SF. On a clear day, you can see Mount Diablo and all the way down to San Jose. And though you can see the Golden Gate (the strait), you can see the GG Bridge only from one spot.

how difficult are the hikes?

The side trails are narrow. You might want to have something to ground you like walking sticks on some of them. Also, wearing some good hiking shies will help a lot.
