- Parking: I started and ended at Land's End Eagle Point. There's usually lots of spots along the road where I began.
- Views: beautiful!
- Traffic: there were a lot of people on a sunny Sunday afternoon. That, combined with the relatively narrow trails, made the walk slower than expected.
awesome hike. many things to see. very dog friendly!
Great hike with shade. Beautiful views along the coast. Came here on a Saturday morning before 10am and was able to find parking in the Lands End Lookout parking lot. After our hike, cars were waiting around for parking. Highly recommend.
Such a beautiful hike. well worth the views!!! I am in no way fit.... just started hiking recently and actually found this one pretty easy.....
Wonderful place. Relaxed easy hike. Better on weekdays
Gorgeous views - definitely very busy but the scenery makes all the traffic worthwhile
Amazing views. Around every turn was another incredible sight. This is a must do if you're in the area.
Great easy hike for the weekend! Great views of the bridge.
Simply the most beautiful hike close to a major US metro in my opinion.
Easy loop, great view, best to go on a weekday though if you can.
Great for a quick jog or a sunset stroll. Amazing views.
beautiful.
great out and back. fantastic views
Tremendously peace view from the shoreline adjacent to bridge

Pretty easy trails. Lots of side trails you can take with wonderful views of the bridge and the bay.
Loved the hike. Great spot and the short ventures off the trail to the rock labyrinth, the baths, and the gorgeous view of the Golden Gate made for a great experience. 4 mile hike became 6 by the end of the day.
So gorgeous! There are amazing views of SF, the bay, the beach, and Sausalito. I’d recommend getting there early enough to find parking as it was intense by the time we left (about 1pm). We ended up adding a couple miles to our trip by adding the Battery Spencer Trail to the day as well as exploring a couple of the old batteries which I definitely recommend. As a Bay Area native, the views never get old and if you’re local and you haven’t been, I hope you do. Trail was about 40-50% shaded so prepare for that if your fair otherwise it requires very little planning. Great place to take visitors! Keep in mind you can only access the parking lot from the south so if you’re coming from Marin, you do a bit of backtracking - unless I don’t know a secret way to get through... which is entirely possible!
Beautiful views of the Golden Gate Bridge and of the rocky shoreline.
While I think this trail is definitely worth checking out, I don’t think it’s a 5 star trail if you prefer longer hikes.
There is a parking lot with free parking and when my friend and I got there around 8:15 a.m. there was still a ton of parking left. There is also a bathroom with flush toilets and soap which is really nice. I also liked that the Sutro Baths are right next to the trailhead.
The main thing I didn’t like was how short it was and also the return route on the loop which is mainly on pavement. This is a great trail of you don’t have a lot of time or are going with people who are out of shape. Definitely do not plan this as a day hike though since it will take you less than 1.5 hours to do the whole thing.
I would feel safe doing this trail alone and would do it again maybe next year or the year after. It’s definitely not the best hike around though as the reviews and ratings would lead you to believe.
Beautiful
Amazing hike with great views. Plenty of beaches as you keep going.
There is so much to see and it is fairly easy for everyone to do! The cave is definitely something you can’t miss!
Easy trail for the whole family

Amazing hike with great views.
Even though it’s not too long, you can take little paths here and there which have stairs and makes it a fun workout. The weather was beautiful and a lot of different points of the trail felt private like you were alone exploring fun tunnels and caves.
beautiful! would do it again!
We got to hike the trail at sunset and got some amazing pictures. The view was worth every step!
