Baker Beach Sunrise

We meet at the Baker Beach lot as the fog is still sitting low over the Golden Gate. From the sand we climb the Batteries to Bluffs trail — short punchy sections through cypress groves with bridge views that never get old. Pack weight 15–20 lbs is plenty for this one; the terrain is forgiving and the scenery keeps you honest. Bring a layer for the wind off the water, solid footwear (the trail turns sandy in sections), and a full water bottle. We finish back at the lot by 8:15 or so, in time for coffee at the warming hut.
