Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Lands End lie the concrete remains of what was once the world’s largest indoor swimming complex. But how did a massive, Victorian-era "Crystal Palace" turn into San Francisco's most iconic ruins? Join us for a historical walking tour as we step back into the Gilded Age. You’ll discover the grand vision of millionaire Adolph Sutro, learn how the Pacific Ocean filled the massive pools, and uncover the mysterious 1966 fire that left behind the beautiful skeleton we see today. Bring your camera, your curiosity, and a jacket—the history is as rich as the coastal views.

As we hike from Sharp Park Beach to Pacifica State Beach near Linda Mar you'll likely see fishermen standing on the beaches hoping to catch striped bass or salmon, and if you look into the sky you may see paragliders floating above Musell Rock Park in the distance. The trails are beginner-friendly so feel free to bring the whole family along.
