It has a lot of small places that I love, and skips a few obvious big ones (Twin Peaks, Alamo Square).

The point where Crosstown Trail and Reverse Crosstrail cross is called Crosstown Crosstrail Crossing.

Test walking the Reverse Crosstrail today. Woke up early for this. Wish me luck!pic.twitter.com/ioHJPDnUb1

I did it! It ended up being the same length as the official Crosstrail, but with a Burj Khalifa’s worth of climbing – although I definitely took a few detours and extra hills.pic.twitter.com/LziviUAMcb

Observations: More old-city vibes, also avoiding popular areas, nicer opener, similarly good closer (amazing that SF has such great four corners).pic.twitter.com/d1ro3vOCuz

(Notes to self: Apple ProRAW is buggy. Also, in the future, maybe don’t do two 18-mile hikes in a week.)pic.twitter.com/kiVDhzBFBG
