Lands End

I am very grateful to be living in the Bay Area. Although we are very much in need of rain, we enjoyed unseasonably warm weather this weekend. It was just pleasantly beautiful! We are very lucky.

SQ and I took the opportunity to visit Lands End today. This area, right by the Cliff House, is the most western edge of the City (I think it's the most western edge of the entire North America continent) . This area is where the famous Sutro Baths once were. After a huge fire in the 1960's, the baths were ruined and the whole area was somewhat neglected. But most recently the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy revitalized the area - building a new parking lot and creating new hiking trails for the residents to enjoy.

We walked along the area and though we did not end up walking the entire trail due to time constraints, it was absolutely spectacular and scenic...not to mention an excellent vantage point of the Golden Gate Bridge! Here's a panomic picture I took with my cell phone along the path. We will definitely come back again!
