The Mount Sutro Loop is a frequently visited 1.8 mile loop located in the heart of San Francisco and adjacent to the University of San Francisco campus. The loop has a moderate elevation gain, but is suitable for hikers of all skill levels.

While the trail can be accessed from several points, we recommend you start near the intersection of 17th and Stanyan. Street parking is available on all sides of Mount Sutro Forest, although it can be difficult to find a parking space during the day and especially on weekends.

While the trail offers great views of Sutro Tower, there are also several points on the path where you will be able to see glimpses of the Golden Gate Bridge through the expansive tree cover.
