The place where Market Street stopped and cows grazed. Uncover the history of the Eureka Valley as we investigate relics of the 1850s outskirts and the churches of the 1890s Irish community. We’ll travel through streets that were abandoned in the 60s then brought back to life in 70s by the flourishing gay community. Locals and visitors alike can appreciate these untold moments in history as we explore four of the best vistas in San Francisco. We’ll visit secret staircases and hidden concrete slides. Secluded gardens and a certain podium with a missing statue. At the peak of Corona Heights, we’ll conclude at the lesser-known, but fascinating Randall Museum. Make sure to pack your hiking shoes!
