Starting from Lands End, we will follow the coast to Baker Beach, then the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Center, and finally end at the Palace of Fine Arts. The Google Maps path is slightly inaccurate because we will take the beach to the sand ladder, so it will be around 6 miles. And depending on our pace, it will take around 3 hours. Optional lunch afterward around Chestnut St. Location to be discussed.
