Trail: Presidio Promenade

Distance: 0.8 miles

Description:
Today we go on the start of five trails we walked, plus several other smaller trails we touched. The trails we went on were: Crissy Fields-Bay Area Trail, Park Trail, Mountain Lake Trail, Ecology Trail, and Presido Promenade.




At our joining of the Presidio Promenade, we come across the Presidio's Transit Center. The Presidio has a free buss called PresidioGo. This center serves as the hub. But we are walkers and still have a lot of energy in us, so we walk eastward along the Promenade. The Promenade follows the street which will turn into Lombard. In the meantime, it passes by Wayburn Redwood Grove—and the Tennessee Hollow Trail, and the Thoreau Center. Then before we leave the Presidio, it passes in front of Letterman Hospital. We exit through the Lombard Gate and into the city.


Addedum:
Thing One and Thing Two now have one destination in mind. So we go down Lombard for a short distance, until we see Highway 101 pour onto it. So we cut off to another, quieter street. We travel east, enjoying the Marina section of the City until we come adjacent to Fort Mason. At this point, we cross over to Bay street and walk down to North Pointe. From here, it is a short walk to Ghiradelli and a Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Sundae—which we share. Afterwards, we are ready to return so we hope on the bus for Route 30 which drops us off on Powell, close to the BART station and back to Fremont we go, tired but content.
