http://public.fotki.com/willotoons/glenparkcanyon/ It's probably 80° out today - gorgeous!! So instead of getting up & going to the gym like I normally do, I decided to take an urban hike! Usually I go right up behind my house, on Bernal Hill, but I've been wanting to explore some other areas, so I ventured out to Glen Park Canyon, which is just one neighborhood over from me. The hike was gorgeous!! As soon as I got out of my car I could smell the beautiful green trees and could hear all the birds chirping. It's so phenomenal we have these slices of nature smack dab in the middle of our city. I heart San Francisco! There's a few videos I took posted here: http://www.willotoons.com/2006/05/glen-park-canyon-revisited.php And there's info on SF Hikes here: http://www.bahiker.com/sfhikes/sf.html UPDATE: went again on 9/06! see photos here: http://willotoons.fotki.com/glenparkcanyon2/ http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/willotoons/glenparkcanyon/ http://public.fotki.com/willotoons/glenparkcanyon/img_0209.html entrance to canyon
