This is a short, extremely scenic walking trail along the cliffside between Baker Beach and the Golden Gate Bridge. Lots of fantastic view of the bridge from the west side as well views of the Pacific Ocean and Marin, especially on sunny days (spring and fall). Walkers only on this trail; no bicycles or dogs.
