Other reviews and summaries suggest this is an easy trail. While not long it is steep in places and there is a staircase at the scenic overlook entrance to trail.
Great place to see some good views of San Francisco and get away from the city noise
Peaceful and clean trails. We ended up joining marathon for the YMCA. I saw some rare flowers, I believe you can only find them 2 places in the world. Amazing views!!
The views of Alcatraz are stellar. The paths are well maintained, and wander through several biomes making for an exciting walk. Find shade when it gets too warm and sun when it's chilly. A perfect spot for running, hiking, or nature walking. Expect to see red tail hawks. There is 4 hour parking, and a bathroom across the parking lot to the west in the golf course club. Just enter the main doors and make an immediate left. The only drawback is that there are many dog walkers who sometimes don't keep the dogs under control. I've been jumped on more times than I can count. Lost a good pair of leggings to one zealously friendly mutt.
At the circle drive near this trail, you'll get one of the most breathtaking views of the city. In one fell swoop you'll see the Palace of Fine Arts, Alcatraz, and mountains around the bay.
