UrbanHike in San Francisco

A group of us decided to do an urban hike in San Francisco. We started with lunch at "Aha Fresh" formally "Griddle Fresh" The Lemon ricotta soufflé's pancake is a must try.
Then we walked around 24th street window shopping.


We gather at Neighbor’s Corner in San Francisco for coffee tea and light snack, introduce ourselves.

Then we’ll start our hike with a visit to Seward slides and play like a kid.



then we hike up to the top of Kite Hill for great views


and then take a hike to twin peaks (good workout, bring water) for awesome views and photo ops.


Then back to coffee shop, here you can grab more drink of snack if necessary. Then we head towards Boba Guys for a reward afterwards.
