Glen Park Loop Hike

Some SF waterways never got buried. The creek at Glen Canyon is just one of the many excellent excuses to explore this remarkable neighborhood. We'll go up and over the hill past rope swings with astounding views on hills named for historic goat ranching. We'll walk a street called Penny Lane, find the hidden segment of Castro, and get into muddy side-tracks exploring a hidden wetland. Highlights include daylighting creeks, Little Switzerland, new stairways, micro-vineyard, "Thirty Harry" (not a movie), brick circles, sidewalks springing natural leaks, Pony Express, Joseph Eichler homes, chicken farm, church garden, and cops-in-training. If you've dismissed this area because it has no Victorian beauty, you're missing out on one sweet corner of the city!
