The Presidio’s northwest corner — Letterman through Crissy Field — sits in the fog corridor that pours through the Golden Gate every afternoon. Even when the city is warm, this stretch is 10 to 15 degrees cooler. Combined with the cypress + eucalyptus forest above, it’s arguably SF’s coolest walking neighborhood May through October.
These picks all use the forest descent paths and the bay-edge promenade. Crissy Field’s eastern half is the only sunny stretch; we route the western half via the Warming Hut’s eucalyptus row instead.
