Leader: John Ford 
Starting location: Glen Park BART Station, San Francisco (To ride BART to the start, catch the 8:17 a.m. Richmond-SF train at North Berkeley. It is expected to arrive at Glen Park at 8:54 a.m.)
Ending location: Lands End, San Francisco
Accessibility: Many stairs and some narrow trails. Very well-behaved dogs on leash are permitted.

The Crosstown Trail was inaugurated in 2019. The entire trail is 17 miles long, but we will tackle the northwestern two-thirds of it. We'll walk through parks and neighborhoods and see parts of San Francisco that are only known to locals. There are a number of hills—it's San Francisco, after all. Dress in layers, and bring water and a lunch: We'll probably find a spot to eat in Golden Gate Park.

Once we get to Lands End, there are a couple of options to get back home. The 38R will take you to Geary and Powell in about 45 minutes. (The regular 38 is slower.) Alternatively, you could call a rideshare driver.
