Hello All,

On Saturday, 11-23-24, we will explore the City’s lovely waterfront and add-in a few climbs up to hilltop panoramic vista points along the way.

Be prepared for a feast of lovely views and some fun exploration as we hike westward from near the Caltrain station to Crissy Field with stops at the new location of Exploratorium and vistas from the tops of Telegraph Hill, Russian Hill, and Pacific Heights.

CARPOOLING ETHICS:
If you prefer to pre-arrange a carpool, PLEASE \*KEEP POSTINGS TO THE WHOLE MEETUP GROUP TO A MINIMUM\*. Such postings lead to too much e-mail traffic on the list, and we have had lots of complaints. INSTEAD, PLEASE POST ONCE TO INDICATE IF YOU NEED A RIDE, CAN OFFER A RIDE, OR BOTH AND FROM WHAT CITY (FOR EXAMPLE: “CAN RIDE OR DRIVE, MENLO PARK”). Then contact drivers or riders directly through the person’s profile or otherwise. Thanks!
