​Join us for our greenest hike yet!

​
We’re trading pavement for pine needles and doing our best to stay off the city streets, sticking instead to the good stuff: woodsy trails, canyon paths, and hidden green paths that’ll make you forget you’re in the city at all.

​We’ll wander through multiple parks under the shadow of Sutro Tower, conquer Twin Peaks, and descend into Glen Canyon. Of course, no hike is complete without snacks, so we’ll start at a cafe for a bakery treat and wrap things up in Cole Valley at an iconic ice cream parlour. Optional: Stick around to grab a bite at Woods with us to celebrate our completed hike and to refuel with some Lovely's Burgers!

​Whether you're here for the forest vibes, the food, or the friendly faces, lace up those hiking boots and come connect with fellow Canucks as we explore a greener side of SF.

​Meeting Point: Souvenir Coffee patio on Divisadero Street (look for Brandon — the tall guy wearing a weight vest and probably holding an oversized coffee).

​🎒 Feeling ambitious? Make it a ruck!

​​What is Rucking? Rucking is simply walking or hiking while carrying a weighted rucksack or backpack. A good rule of thumb is to begin with a weight that is 10%-15% of your body weight.

​​What do I use as weight?

• ​Weighted vest? Perfect.

• ​No vest? Load up a backpack with water bottles ( great for beginners as you can drink or dump weight as needed).

• ​Fun fact: 1 litre of water weighs about 2.2 pounds.

• ​Another option: Books! We’ll pass several Little Free Libraries where you can drop or swap books along the way.

​​A Few Friendly Reminders:

• ​Don't hesitate to ask to stop for water breaks, restroom stops, photo ops, etc.

• ​We hike no matter the weather, so bring an extra layer (it is SF after all).

• ​We’ll be moving at a brisk pace, so choose your weight wisely.

  • ​We won’t leave anyone behind — but we won’t be thrilled if we have to carry your load (literally).
