About the Book

An intimate, personal and healthy way to explore SF’s neighborhoods and secret finds

Walking San Francisco’s 49 Mile Scenic Drive shows how walking—rather than driving—San Francisco’s famous scenic route gives you an active, fun way to enjoy and fall in love with the most beautiful city in the world. Get to know the City by the Bay as you never have before with this full color guidebook, which provides 17 bite-size walks, each complete with turn-by-turn instructions, maps, and historical facts and information. Get up close and personal with the most popular visitor locations in San Francisco, and explore the little known neighborhoods that the locals enjoy: Chinatown, Fisherman’s Wharf, the Presidio, Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park, the Cliff House, Ocean Beach, Twin Peaks, Mission Dolores, even the Ferry Building and AT&T Park.

Walking San Francisco’s 49 Mile Scenic Drive, written by two San Francisco "insiders," includes detailed maps, points of interest, info on bus routes and parking, recommendations for visiting "hidden gems" and must-see museums, plus plenty of tips and stats to help walkers, such as step counts and mile distances, hill steepness rating, weather tips, and more. Along with the 17 well-crafted primary walks, the book also offers fantastic bonus hikes through beaches, parks, stunning oceanside cliffs, and historic neighborhoods.

About the Authors

Kristine Poggioli (pronounced Po-jo’-lee) is a copywriter and storyteller with a B.A. in History from U. C. Berkeley. As a native San Franciscan she has given people tours around this city she loves her whole life. In 2013, Kristine and coauthor Carolyn Eidson became the first people known to have walked San Francisco’s historic 49 Mile Scenic Drive—which launched them into a new healthy lifestyle and resulted in a combined 75 pounds weight loss.
