Overview

Take a secret passage to the landmark Telegraph Hill. Enjoy views of the waterfront, explore the history of the Embarcadero and charm of the wooden steps & lush greenery that wrap around the Filbert Stairs. Reach the summit & take-in local history at Coit Tower, a San Francisco landmark in Pioneer Park. Beyond the tower a hidden garden awaits, offering spectacular views of the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, & infamous Alcatraz Island. Descend the masonry of the Greenwich Street steps to Levi Plaza, the headquarters of jeans, & visit Green Street Lab, where Philo Farnsworth sent the 1st television transmission. Following the breeze of the Old Waterfront, we’ll head to the coast, enjoy pictures of the "old days", when three-mast ships bustled along Yerba Buena Cove during San Francisco’s construction. Today, the Embarcadero waterfront hosts attractions like the delicious Ferry Building(with over 100+ Vendors for shopping & local bites)–our starting & ending point for this four-mile urban hike.
