Route Description for Lobos Creek Valley Path Hike
Those seeking a short, easy-going outdoor adventure in San Francisco will enjoy the scenic Lobos Valley Creek Path Hike. Exhibiting a diversity of flora and fauna, this stimulating trail beckons the exploration of visitors and locals alike. Admire the variety of chaparral and wildflowers as you make your way to an overlook of the Presidio Landmark. Note the terrain is exposed to the elements, so wear SPF and dress in layers as insurance against changing conditions.
Setting out from the trailhead off Howard Road, the Lobos Valley Creek Trail wanders south along the Lobos Valley Creek Trail.

Presenting the perfect opportunity for birding, you will likely notice seagulls, swallows, sandpipers, and more soaring above or exploring the arid terrain.

Admire the beauty of the impressive landmark from here and rehydrate before retracing your footing down the path back to the trailhead.
